Prophet is creaking at the seams when it gets more than a few users, its dated and feature poor compared to SASSIE and WEB-MS.

On MF there is a phone call assignment which requires the shopper to call via an 0870 number to record the conversation. A 10-minute call to the 0870 number would reduce the effective fee significantly - is there any way around this?
In simple words, no. Even saynoto0870 won't help.

I used a WeQ4U app to make one of these recorded calls, so my inclusive minutes were used instead of paying a premium. I did not experience any issues, the call was still recorded.Why can't you be a non-conformist like everybody else?0 -

Because every one of these I have done have had to be recorded on their system and there is no way to upload audio to them on the questionnaire.0 -

As I mentioned in my original post, the call did get recorded. So changing an 0870 number into a local one still allows you to enter the assignment ID and code into their system and to record the call.Why can't you be a non-conformist like everybody else?0 -
TBH - the work around solution on how to avoid 0870 charges is good to hear. However Market Farce really should take call charges into account in the fees in the first place so calls can be made from normal phone lines. I always feel they are mugging people off on these sort of assignments so avoid.0

Hi all.
Hope everyone is OK.
Gosh, you all sound so busy with your MS jobs. All I ever seem to do these days are the TNS phone shops and the GR supermarkets. Nothing else ever seems to come up. Am I missing something? I'm registered with most of the companies.
Also, has anyone ever been let go by a MS agency and then been taken back? I don't mean GYP by the way.0 -

Ah sorry I thought that was a call recording app not a call redirect app.
Good to know one work around.0
