Yep, it's getting worse because of number portability.  But it's still
possible (mostly) to distinguish
between a mobile and a landline.  And it's still the case that mobile to
mobile with different
providers is less than mobile to landline.  Except where the same operator
runs the mobile and
landline.  But even there, BT make no distinction between calling their own
mobiles or some
other provider's mobile from a BT landline.
