T-Mobile free 08 numbers

I know, I should have listened more carefully when I was in the shop but
I've just renewed my contract and it includes "free calls to 08 numbers".
Does this mean "free" free, or just no extra network charges for calling an
08 number (but still liable for whatever premium rate a caller from a land
line might incur)?

Not having much luck with Google.

You must have misheard! Free 0800 numbers would be vaguely believeable
(and in which case these are totally free from landlines). Having the
complete range of numbers starting 08 (many of which are chargeable) does
not sound remotely likely!

Why not? Several landline packages now include 0845 and 0870 numbers in
their inclusive minutes. It's conceivable that mobile tariffs may do the
same. Not free I know, but 'free' in marketing speak.

All T-Mobile plans since Feb time this year(except Full Monty) include all 08 numbers in your inclusive minutes. That's ALL 08 numbers. If you've used all your minutes it's 40p/min.
