'Anytime International 300' no longer makes calls of fewer than 60 minutes free?

At present I have the Plusnet 'Anytime International 300' phone plan. It allows me to call New Zealand and Australia and indeed various other countries for free, so long as the call lasts less than an hour. Soon my Plusnet contract expires. I consulted the webpage on the phone plans and it seems that the free-for-less-than-an-hour scheme has been discontinued (for, I found no mention of that scheme). It seems rather that now one always gets charged by the minute for international calls (unless the calls are to one of a small, set list of predetermined countries). Seemingly too there is now something (but just what is it?) called a 'setup cost'.

I'd be grateful if someone could shed any light.
