The first link says it is free to redirect if in UK.
The second quote where it says YOU it is talking about the owner of the 070 number. It will cost them 27p per minute to have it redirect to one of the places listed.
The sites you are quoting from are designed for the people buying and using the 070 number not the person calling it.If you find you are drinking too much give this number a call. 0845 769 75550 -

from http://www.which.co.uk/technology/phones/guides/mobile-phone-problems/premium-rate-phone-numbers/07 cost
An 07 number followed by any digit except '0' is usually a mobile phone number. Calls from pay-monthly mobiles to other mobiles are usually included. Calls from pay-as-you-go mobile phones typically range from 5ppm to 20ppm, though cross-network calls (where you're calling someone who doesn't use the same mobile provider as you) may cost more.
The cost of calling mobiles from home phones varies by network, but calls to mobiles cost 7.5ppm (off-peak) or 12.5ppm (peak) from a BT landline.
070 cost
Watch out for 070 codes. They look like mobile phone numbers, but can cost up to 50p a minute. 070 phone numbers are intended to act as a forwarding service – known as personal numbers, they divert calls to the owner's location.
However, because they are easy to mistake for mobile phone numbers, some criminals use them to try to con you into calling them and making money out of it. If you receive a missed call on your mobile from an 070 number, do not call it back – it is likely to be a scam.0 -
