Its certainly good to hear that unlike Priceyola Vivaciti have decided to listen to what their customers are telling them about the cost of calling 087 numbers.  To be honest I would have perfectly happy with Vivaciti using an 01 or 02 number instead of an 0800 number as an 0800 number in part subjects Vivaciti to the NGN call scam in reverse although www.call08.co.uk do seem to have some very reasonable prices.

I do hope Vivaciti will also list their geographic phone number starting 01 or 02 too though as unfortunately all mobile phone companies exclude 0800 numbers from bundled minutes for calls starting 01/02 and TMobile still charge 0800 calls at a premium rate of 40p per minute compared to 12p per minute to any mobile network or to any 01/02 prefixed number on their main Pay As You Go tariff.
