Even if you do get something for nothing it will probably end up being a toaster or a digital alarm clock which you will have paid for by phoning them for 5mins

0870 and 0845 numbers are charged at national/local rate, but a small %age goes to the company thats hosts the number.

thats how free ISPs make their money
