    How about going onto saynoto0870 tomorrow, and listing all the alternative numbers to those that you are currently ringing? You will still get through to the same dept but on a normal area code which then won't cost you as much?

    You can put all the "new" numbers in your phone book on your phone, so still dead easy to ring when you are out on the road.

    cheers Z, maybe if i adapt the back of my spending diary so all i need do is flip it over and record it then it may be viable. :-)

    Check out "saynoto0870" (I think there's a link from the MSE main site) It doesn't just list 0870 numbers but a lot of non-geographic numbers (including 0845) as well. I tend to use it as a checker (can I call a geographic number and get a free call, rather than pay 5 - 10p a minute to a non-geographic lo-call number)!
