    It's even simpler than that. No need for sayNOto0870.

    Do not call BA on the advertised premium rate 0844 number. These calls cost up to 72p per minute.

    Call their new 0344 number. Calls to all 03 numbers are inclusive in allowances on landlines and mobiles on the same basis as calls to 01 and 02 numbers, or are otherwise charged at the same rate as calling an 01 or 02 number.

    Replace 0844 with 0344 and dial the rest of the digits of the number the same as before.
    I agree. IME if you just change the 8 in an 084/087 number for a 3, in the vast majority of cases it works fine.
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
