GREEDY Users of 0870 numbers.

See this excellent article in Thursdays Guardian,which sums up how Joe Public is being ripped off :mad: by organisations/companies that expect you to ring their 0870 number,s because they think they are doing us a favour?

I make alot of calls to 0870 numbers each week, and recently NTL offered me talkunlim24, and said it would cost me nothing to call landlines anywhere in the UK. What they failed to mention was these 0870 numbers aren't classed as landlines, they are buisness numbers, so I still have to pay. Cheers NTL. :mad:

NGN 0845/0870 are not solely used business customers,their is nothing to stop private individuals having them.

NTL are not the only ones that dont include them in their inclusive call packages,in fact no other UK Suppliers does.

NTL charge £12.50p for their unlimited call package.If you wanted to save money.You would probaly be better off using 1899 at peak rate,anf taking OneTel.s free evening and weekend call offer.
