    0871 has been 35p/min for a number of years. 0870/0844/0845 should be included.

    are you for real

    Maybe the OP didn't really know. Lets give the OP the benefit of the doubt.

    this was a genuine query, have been with 02 since march/april, first time charges appeared on my contract account, upon checking calls, i realised that the 0871 no.s had been charged.

    i have always thought
    0870=0871
    0845=0844

    Not many companies have 0871 so you may not have rung them that often before and probably never noticed you got charged until now.

    But watch for mass migration to these numbers,(and/or 0844), when ,(or even before), revenue sharing stops on 0870.

    I was going to give you the benifit of the doubt.

    0870=0870
    0871=0871
    0845=0845
    0844=0844
    don't think there's any need for your attitude to the OP :rolleyes:

    but while we're being pedantic, benifit = benefit

    Now, now, the idea is to be nice to ALL the people who post here, so both Swan and stiffnuts need to kiss and make up.
