Even though Eurobell Internet do have 01392 (and an 01293)
dialup numbers these are not free from any Eurobell lines.

Also they have taken the marketing decision to only offer the
free calls from residential lines at certain times.

In some cases an 0845 number can end up more expensive to call
than the other end of the country.
