03 for the BBC

I was listening to BBC Radio One over the weekend and it is now using an 03 number as its main studio line:

03700 100 100

This is great, as I can imagine a large percentage of listeners will be contacting the station using their mobile phones. This means that they will not be charged more than a standard 01 or 02 number to do so and their call could even be free, as 03 numbers are included in the free minutes that are provided by mobile and landline networks.

037 numbers are know as 03 migration numbers and allow organisations that have an 08 number to exchange it for the 03 equivalent. For example, Radio 1's previous number was 08700 100 100.

The BBC are in the process of swapping all of their 0870 numbers for 0370 and Radio 2 have started using 03700 100 200 as well.

Have you heard / seen anyone else using an 03 number?
