Cost of calling an 020 1 number?

Question

Does anybody know how much it costs to dial an 020 1 number?

020 numbers are London numbers, but Wikipedia says 020 0 and 020 1 numbers are for 'national dialling only' - does this mean they are charged at non-geographic number rates, or still charged at normal national call rates from outside London? If I called from in London, would I be charged local or national rate? Would a call to 020 1 be included in my landline minutes on my mobile contract?

Thanks

020 1 and 020 0 numbers are new codes introduced for the London area. These calls are charged at normal geographic rates and can be deducted from any "free minutes" available in your call plan. So, if you're in London, it would be a local call.

"National Dialling only" means that these numbers must be dialled in full, even if you are in London. Normally for 020 7 or 020 8 numbers, you can drop the 020 code; however this would not work for these new numbers.

What none of the previous answers have said is that number is 10 digits. All British numbers have 11 digits. So I'm sure there's something wrong with the number. I'm English, my number has 11 digits, and I know all the rest do. Any number that starts with 09 is a premium rate (expensive) number and won't be a real person's number. All mobile (cellphone) numbers start with 07. All landline numbers start with 01, 02 or 03. Once you have the right 11 digit number, you dial 01144, miss off the first 0 and dial the other 10 digits. 011 gets you to the international phone exchange, and 44 is the country code for the UK.
