Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

The NHS has been actively discouraging practices from using these numbers for some time, so there shouldn't be many left now.

Free calls to free numbers, great "offer" :D

In the meantime they're still free from real payphones too

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

03 numbers are appearing a lot now

And yet the NHS encouraged it in the first place :confused: They are backtracking I think ... To late it should never have been allowed we are talking about the sick and vulnerable people "the old,young and sick" and yet who I see as the true sick ones are the people trying to make money out of the sick and needy all the doctors who used this number for their surgery should hang their heads in shame ... :rant:

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

It's better than an offer where 0800 and 0808 numbers aren't free.

Have fun finding one in the rain when you could use a mobile indoors.

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

Well they're also free from every landline in the country as well...

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

Yes they are, but I don't have one.

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

Nor do I, but you really shouldn't have to pay for the convenience of accessing something that should be free for free, particularly when you can already use your inclusive minutes to call them for "free" anyway.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

I prefer to show love to the players on the opposite team, the ones that provide free access to 0800 numbers from mobiles and still make a profit.

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

are 0871 numbers free from landline phones Thanks

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

35p per minute upward on a mobile, and between 6p up to 35p from a landline depending on who your provider is I am led to believe...

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

my provider is VM is still 35p Thanks

Re: 0845 and 08457 numbers
 

I use this website SAYNOTO0870.COM

Like I have said before this site lists many well known companies, and their equivalent geographical numbers, therefore not paying premium rates like 5p or more per minute. It also lets you type in the number and gives you the cheaper one ... I use this website all the time for these rip off numbers I refuse to line the pockets of the big companies further they make enough from us ... :D

I have my hand a piece of paper (card actually) and have just been told by Virginmedia that they don't recognise this....

It dates back to Autumn 2011, I registered for it the day I received the offer.

Who should I talk to about this obvious U Turn, as I have now been billed for 0870 calls ( a single one in a month, so not in excess of their 250 minute limit). :mad:
