There are a good few numbers on www.saynoto0870.com
0800 092 0500
0800 092 0511
0800 092 0512
0800 092 0513
0800 092 0514
028 7130 4700
Have you tried them all?
If you're trying to avoid the cost of calling a freephone number from your mobile, you are using the appropriate geographical access number (0200 222 0700 or 0200 222 0900) to make the call for the same price as a geographical call aren't you?Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -

Have you tried using one of the 020 numbers as a gateway to one of the 0800 numbers?Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.

Because freephone numbers are very expensive to call from most mobile networks, the 0200 numbers I quoted are available as 'gateways'.
You dial either 0200 222 0700 or 0200 222 0900 (one or other will work on your network) and then key in the freephone number you want to call when instructed to do so.
That way, you dial a geographical number out of your inclusive minutes but end up calling your wanted freephone number without paying any extra.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market.
