NYAS operates a freephone helpline providing access to all its services within England and Wales. In 1997, Oftel released 10-digit numbers beginning 0808 designated as freephone services. Later on, the 0800 code came into use for freephone services. In September 1994 Clear began to provide an 0800 freephone service in competition with Telecom. Viewers could register on the website or by using a freephone telephone number. Customers are notified of changes by checking Plusnet's website, freephone telephone number or RSS feed. Similarly, a toll-free number in America is a freephone number in the UK. There are also reserved ranges for fictitious mobile, freephone and premium rate numbers. Both BT and Mercury issued only 10-digit freephone numbers to users after 1997. Prior to this, its freephone service had used the code 0508. An extra option called FreePhone Mobile 24 is available as well. Some years later, 0500 was used for Mercury Freephone services. It has released FreePhone Mobile in November 2011. Refuge also runs the Freephone 24-Hour National Domestic Violence Helpline in partnership with Women's Aid.
