Phoning 08 no's without the execessive costs attached with them.

[Darkwood]

If you have a mobile contract but you're finding your allowance for minutes dosnt include the various 08 no's which charged premium rates you can with some providers arrange for a additional option to your contract - im using vodaphone and for a £5 charge on top of my monthly fee i get unlimited calls to 0845, 0870... etc etc up to the minutes allowance per month of my contract.
Due to the nature of my work and the wholesalers i use like rs components who use these no's ive estimated to have saved about 40 - 80 quid a month, so if your falling foul of these no's to the tune of £10 plus it might be worth asking your provider if they have this option. :smug2:

Defiantly worth a thanks + a like, cheers for that .

i only found out cos i complained about the excessive costs of these no's and was there a package to include them and hey Voila i was offered one, i suppose they dont want to advertise it too much as it could become costly for them but hope your service providers can do a similar thing.

i just use my free app on iphone and it converts the 08 numbers to landline which are included in my allowance.

If you have the time and resources to look it up before you dial, this site is pretty good

SAYNOTO0870.COM - Non-Geographical Alternative Telephone Numbers

Or you can use this service, it is not quite as comprehensive, but less hassle to use

I was charged £1.87 for a 1:16 minute call to the police on the new 101 number, just wanted to report a tree in the road!!

You could always call 999 and report it as extortion
