Really annoyed with 08 numbers

It's a shame that companies charge you just to call them up. I'm trying to book a table at this company and all they supply are 08 numbers that you have to pay for to call. I really don't want to pay at all just to call an office in the same country. It's bloody cheaper for me to call overseas. Saynoto0870 in this particular case can't help. I'm annoyed.

    Write to the company raising your objection and then vote with your feet
    and eat elsewhere. And tell them so in your letter.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    SAYNOTO0870.COM contains a forum section called Geographical Requests where you can post for help on finding an alternative. ;)

    If you do post the, please read the instructions and post some basic information such as company address, 08 phone number and any other information you have that might help.
  • The current Flext price plans with t-mobile include these calls from your allowance. If you are currently with T-Mobile then you may be able to add an 08 number booster which for £2.50 per month allows up to 30 minutes worth of calls. Ideal for some people.
