Thay are charged at about UKL .045 per min (UKL = approx 1.7 USD). They are not available outside the UK. There are 6 special prefixes that I know of: 0898 - recorded message service 0077 - as above but london only. 0836 - cell phones (Cellnet) 0837 - cell phones (Vodaphone) 0800 - similar to US 1-800 0345 - like 0800 but you pay as if making a local call (free local calls - you must be kidding :-) and just when you thought you understood it time in london is reached by just dialing 123.
