Well its been five months since Martin started this topic and today the BBC's Watchdog (whom MSE Martin appears on) have now finally given in to demand and now use a geographical number instead of an 0870 number. Unfortunately though, other BBC programmes/dept still continue to use 0870 numbers.MSE_Martin wrote:..Ofcom isn’t alone.

OfCOM have also not long gone to a geographical number as well.0
