I use alternative providers on 0800 numbers from my Orange phone & have done so for years, i use several companies, 1Tel & Telco, to name two of them. they do NOT charge a monthly fee, jusy your calls which are similar to landline costs.

Now a word about Orange 0800 charging policy;

P A Y G
Since 1998 ish ALL 0800 numbers have been chargable on Pay as you go Orange phones.

OVP
Since earlier this year all 0800's are chargable on OVP style contracts.

Orange YP Contracts, all 0800's are free, exept calling card services, this means your 0800 access number will get a short message put on it when you connect telling you you are being charged, your alternative provider will normally then give out a new number to use, & the chase will continue like this as it will sooner or later also be added to Orange's black list & become a chargable number, also last year WITHOUT WARNING Orange billed everyone for 0800 numbers that were used as access to these services, so they dont have to give you a warning if they dont want to.
Having said all this, i do use these companies & as long as you listen to make sure the Orange "Chargable call" message is not there you should be OK. also remember 0800's are included in free minuutes on many networks & some alternative providers give out a landline (Non 0800) connection number.

Orange is working on making calls to 0800 numbers free. They make agreements with 0800 numbers providers and Orange has some packages where calls to 0800 numbers are free. So it depends on type of package you have. And if you made contract with Orange before this agreement, you have to renew it.

Orange is actually purchasing all the cabnets/exchanges from BT atm... 0800 will remain free on Pay Monthly (Unless you are on an EQ Tariff) and they actually forsee selling 0800 numbers that you can terminate on your mobile. Mainly projected towards sole traqders I guess.
