18185 not working - reply from 18185
I get the familiar message "the number you have dialed has not been recognised". I've checked my account and everything seems normal.

My latest telephone bill was dated 13th September, received 4 days after that, and has to be paid 7 days after the invoice date. There are non-business days (obviously) within that week's 'window of opportunity' to pay,and then, as usual, the 'red one' will be computer generated. I don't want to pay by direct debit and I…
