09 - premium rate with banding. 091XX costs less than 092XX etc (so, "lo-call" revenue generating scams would be 090, adult service 098, 099)
08 - free, receiver pays.
07 - mobile - normal cost to call

04 - non-geographic - normal cost to call, receiver pays any excess.
01,02,03 - England, Wales, Scotland - normal cost to call
