OfCOM's Contact Number

For those that didn't know OfCOM's website for contacting them listed their 0845 number on its own at first. Then following complaints they listed their geographical number below their 0845 number.
Having just looked at their website now here they've changed it again and even admitted now that its cheaper to call their geographical number unless you are on BT's Light User Scheme and are calling from outside London.
I've also posted this on the SayNoTo0870 forum here.

Not bad going OfCOM! It's only taking them over a year to realise this or should I say openly admit this!?!Phone
020 7981 3040 (this number will be the cheapest option for most callers)
or
0845 456 3000 (this number may be cheaper for callers on the BT Light User Scheme calling from outside the London area)
Please note that calls to the Contact Centre may be monitored or recorded

www.ofcom.org.ukTime has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
