    Usually on your screen when they have 'processed' your 08 number! :D

    Never used the app so was not aware.;)

    So they point their 03 numbers at geographical numbers probaly obtained from Say No To 0870.:D

    Why doesn't this surprise me? :D Certainly the way they convert 08 numbers to geog ones is basically the same as SayNoTo0870 but this app has a USP and the clue is most definitely in the name. :D

    What's USP?
    And why do they need SayNo for 0800 numbers?
    You connect to them via 03, they connect you to 0800 via landline?

    We (per abbreviation) Q(ueue) 4(=for) U (=you)

    If you're stacked in a call handling queue then you can opt to be called back when you've reached the sales/service assistant.

    Yes, the crucial bit is it saves your allowance whilst they q 4 u :D They have calculated i have saved almost £30 since I got the app (for those who haven't used the app a screen appears when you load up the app asking for a review and estimating your actual total savings). No idea if that is accurate and it's never going to work successfully 100% of the time (same as saynoto0870 I guess) but it's free so I don't understand why anyone who knows about it wouldn't at least give it a try.

    Have T Mobile changed their plans to exclude 08 numbers? Conflicting info on web site.
