Ditto. I don't see any 0800 numbers in the original list or on the BG website.

Neither did I, but read your own original post above...or did you actually mean "to get hold of 0800 numbers, go to www.saynoto0870.com" - if so, that's not what you said...

The statement is unambiguous!

Have you ever used saynoto0870?

bunking_off

Yes, I have.

Ok, I'm in a minority of one.

However, I read the original statement as "Also, use saynoto0870 for {as in to get cheaper alternate numbers for} 0800 numbers".

The intent was clearly "Also, use saynoto0870 for 0800 numbers {as in to get hold of equivalent 0800 numbers for the 0845s above}".

I'm not stupid. I've got multiple degrees, and spend my life looking at legal texts. I can accept that I mis-read the intent of Tom's mail. Apologies for that. Can you accept that it is open to misinterpretation, and not "unambiguous"?

I too thought it was completely unambiguous - but with the meaning that bunking_off suggested, especially coming immediately after a post with an 0800 number in it! How about "use saynoto0870 for 08 numbers" ?;)
ok, so that doesn't work either....

I am with the unambiguous camp!

However I do love semantic discussions, or even discussion on semantics.

Might help us better if you supplied the geo numbers instead of the stealth revenue sharing rip off 0845 numbers.

Might be worth making this a sticky Admin people

Why would you want a sticky to promote stealth revenue sharing rip off 0845 numbers. Lets not make it a sticky and promote more use of the saynoto0870 site.

All britishgasworker is doing is trying to help you out by provding the numbers to call bgas and others. He has done this in his spare time its up to you if you want to call them and what number to call them on. TBH if i was him i would'nt bother again because all people on here have done is have a go at him about it. Go and have a look on saynoto0870 if you want it dont matter to us. These are handy to have all in one place so if you need to get hold of a company quickly then you can. All we are trying to do is help...

derrick

Trouble is you won't get hold of them quickly on 0845 as they are revenue sharing numbers and it is to their advantage to hold you in a queue, as the longer you are in it the more money they make and the larger your phone bill.
There are enough threads on here to that point.
