Curious - providers don't have to charge the same for local & national
calls. Therefore, how can 03 be charged the same?

Because that is what Ofcom are requiring. Please see some of my posts
much earlier in the thread refering to Ofcoms releases.

Specifically:
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/numbering03/
http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/cond...ing03/summary/

which includes:

"1.5 We have, however, decided to provide a new range of numbers -
beginning with '03' - which we think many customers will trust more than
many current 08 numbers. Consumers will pay the same amount for calls to
03 numbers as they would for calling a geographic number (beginning with
'01' or '02'). We think that many businesses, public services and
voluntary services will want to enable their customers to call them on
03 numbers rather than 08 numbers."
