Calling all UK FooCaller’s!

Finally, you can call 08xx numbers from your mobile, without worrying how much you’ll get charged!

We all know how costly it can be to call a customer service line or many other 08xx numbers from a mobile. Whether you pay monthly or top-up your mobile, your operator will charge you silly amounts of money for those calls. Typically, calls to these types of numbers can be long calls too, so the costs really can mount up. And even 0800 ‘freephone’ numbers aren’t free from a mobile! Many network providers charge AT LEAST 20p per minute to call 08 numbers. This is where FooCall can save you a LOT of money.

For instance, calling an 0800 number from your mobile directly via your mobile operator, will cost you 7p to 31p per minute. If you have FooCall installed, you can place the call using your inclusive minutes, and pay only 1p per minute!

How often have you found yourself placed on hold when calling about a utility bill or to make a booking. After 10 minutes of being on hold, you could have paid over £2 with your mobile operator…. or just 10p with FooCall!

Check out the price comparison below:

All rates are pence per minute	FooCall Rates	Typical Mobile Operator rates	Savings per minute with FooCall

You can start calling 08xx numbers right away – there’s nothing for you to do. Just open up the FooCall app, and start dialling!

Don’t forget, please ensure you enter the number you are calling in international format, for example 00 44 800 123456789, or +44 800 123456789.

We regret that due to an industry wide increase in the cost of telephone calls to India in the last few days, we have unfortunately had to increase some of our rates. These rates have increased to the absolute minimum we possibly can, while still offering great value and the same great call quality and reliability you are used to.

We know this must be frustrating but please be assured that we are working closely with our suppliers to reduce the rates to the levels you have been enjoying. The moment we are able to reduce call rates to India, please rest assured we will do so.

Best Regards,
The FooCall Team

If at any time you are having issues with the FooCall Android app (for instance the app may have ‘frozen’, or your contacts aren’t updating as you’d expect), we always recommend the first thing you try is to restart the app. Restarting FooCall will force the app to close and require you to log again, and hopefully clear any issues you may be having.
