    Saynoto0870.com is severely flawed, though, because anyone can stick a number on there. Used it to ring British Gas Sales yesterday, and had a lovely conversation with a pretty peed off secretary who ran a boiler firm.

    Apparently they're verified twice, to boot ;)

    Not very well, I must say - I've very rarely had a number on there which has been to the department, or even the company, it's supposed to.

    Still, it is a marvellous idea.

    Visit the site ,inform them of an alternative number ,and they will confirm that it will take a few days before the number is placed because of verification.

    Verification means confirmed.

    Have a nice day,take advantage of the use of alternative numbers ,when you have packages on mobiles and landlines and need to make calls to Call Centres that use revenue creating 0870 numbers :money:

    Do not be put of by staff who are unaware of their systems

    Don't patronise me, please, you're not in a position to try it.

    I'll give you an example. A number, billed as an alternative to British Gas Sales/Billing Accounts, leads you straight to a completely different company who sell gas boilers. The secretary at that company was very, very annoyed with the amount of worthless traffic she was getting that both tied up and wasted her time.
