That's one reason.  The other reason is that I've just got a Nokia 6210
and the idea of being able to dialup from my Visor is just nifty :)
However Orange are charging me 5 or 6p a minute for an 0845 number it
seems (This is for Non-HSCSD (i.e. 9600 or 14.4Kbps data) calls).  HSCSD
calls (28.8Kbps) are 25p a minute.

However I've found that freeserve have a national call rate (0870) number
and that (as far as I've been told by a friend) is included in my
inclusive minutes each month.

Which is nice.
