> How can they afford to run the service? Numbers in the UK are assigned by OFCOM (the communications regulator), and are assigned based on need/demand. Provided you can demonstrate need for numbers, the regulator imposes no charge on the telecoms company for holding those numbers.
Of course, there's still the cost of interconnects/hardware/hosting/etc., but if the revenue from your outbound traffic (and arbitrage) is paying for that, then the cost of providing geographic numbers trends towards zero.
