    Yes, numbers starting with the 070 prefix are called "Personal Numbering". Basically it's a number that doesn't exist on a specific phone. The holder of the number can choose to divert the calls to the 070 number so that it rings a phone with another number. Sometimes it's called 'find me anywhere' numbering. Calls to these numbers cost more than calls to mobiles do. In the case of your number, it may cost more. Below are the BT charges for calls to 07029 numbers in pence per minute during the Peak, Evening and Weekend periods respectively.


    070291  35.63 23.75 11.87
    070292  30.40 20.90 9.97
    070293  16.16 16.16 16.16
    070294  4.69 4.69 4.69
    070297  30.40 20.90 9.97
    070298  12.58 7.29 3.85
