Erm, yes there is, these are free on BT.


UIFN Numbers - Universal International Freephone Numbers
The Spring 98 edition of a booklet published by the Atlantic Coast of Canada Tourist Bureau stated that they can be contacted by phone toll-free from the UK by dialling 00800-549-37711. This number connects from the UK to their Information Centre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The number is certainly toll-free when dialled from a callbox. When the number is dialled from a BT "Phone Card" callbox in the UK the display indicates the fact that the call is free of charge and no payment is deducted from a phone card. When the number is dialled from a BT "Coins and Credit Card" callbox in the UK there is no need to insert any coins or cards at any time in order to reach the number. I cannot be absolutely certain that the number is toll-free when dialled from a normal domestic UK telephone rather than a callbox but this seems highly likely.

From someones web site...
