0844 numbers

Inforapennyinforapound

I need to call an 0844 number(no info on saynoto0870 for alternative).

MSE doesnt give any clues as to what/how/when to call as the UK callchecker only shows 0845/0870.

So my question is do i assume it is similar to 0845 or o870 or is it a special breed of number all of its own

Like 0843, 0871, 0872 and 0873 numbers, they are a special breed.

From a BT landline, 0843/4 numbers currently cost between ½p and 5p per minute to call depending on the 5th, 6th and 7th digits. Their 10.9p call set-up fee also applies.

Other providers charge their own rates (Virgin in particular charges considerably more).

Which company is your calls provider and what number do you need to call?

Worth a look to see if there's another number for the organisation on any documentation you have from them. If they provide a number for calling from overseas, that is often a standard landline. Some credit card companies do that, but at least one I use now detects if the call is coming from within the UK and just plays a recording saying to call the 084 number if so.

Looks like you could have a problem there, as they are doubtless inundated with calls and that is also a number which can be called from abroad. saynoto0870 give 0121 767 7790 as the main switchboard, but maybe you've already tried that. Plus that may only be a real benefit if you get cheaper (preferably free) calls to UK landlines. Good luck!
