Are you looking for VoIP presentation (SIP/IAX), or plumbed to an 01/02 
number?

Remember that 0800's may not be free to call from mobiles, but 01/02/03 
numbers might come out of their inclusive minutes, and I'd guess more 
people are using inclusive call packages from their telcos now too, so I'm 
wondering if 0800's really are the best thing these days...
