  • 0800, 0808, 0500 #s are equivalent to North American 1-800 numbers (where the recipient of the call pays for the call).

  • 0845, 0870, 0871, and many other types of numbers are equivalent to North American 1-900 numbers, where the caller pays a premium to call the number, and the recipient (and/or the recipient's telecom provider) receives revenue on every call received.
