    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances:

    I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere so this post/thread has been moved to the telephones board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email !!!!!!.

    I'm a Board Guide for this board and volunteer to help the board run smoothly. I can move & change posts there but can't read every post, so if you see an abusive or illegal post please report it HERE (it's not part of my role to deal with abuse).

    I remember that some people mentioned purchasing 0870 numbers which they would give to companies so they make money when phoned up.
    I also remember there being mentioned something that is going to stop 0870 numbers costing that much...or something along those lines?
    What number can I purchase to make a bit of money?

    You can get these numbers for free,I have an 0870 & an 0844, as 0870 are supposed to be losing the revenue sharing facility,( if Ofcom ever get their act together), and you will end up paying to receive calls on 0870.

    I got my number from Gateway Telecom, I have no affiliation to them except for obtaining the FOC numbers.
