Phones
Most public payphones are operated by BT and, at least in the towns, are widespread. Many payphones take all coins from 10p upwards (minimum payment 20p), although an increasing proportion only accept phonecards , available from post offices and newsagents displaying BT's green logo. These cards come in denominations of GBP3, GBP5, GBP10 and GBP20; many phones also accept credit cards . Inland calls are cheapest at weekends and between 6pm and 8am on weekdays. Reduced rate periods for most international calls are 6pm-8am from Monday to Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. A cheaper way to call is from one of the number of independent telecom centres , though you're likely to find these only in the major cities. Throughout the guide, every telephone number is prefixed by the area code, separated from the subscriber number by an oblique slash, which can be omitted if dialling from within the area covered by that prefix. However, some prefixes relate to the cost of calls rather than the location of the subscriber, and should never be omitted: numbers with 0800, 0808 and 0500 prefixes are free of charge to the caller; 0845 numbers are charged at local rates and 0870 up to the national rate - irrespective of where in the country you are calling from. Beware of premium-rate numbers, which are common for pre-recorded information services - and have the prefix 09; these are charged at anything up to GBP1.50 a minute. Mobile phone numbers are prefixed 07
