After getting the tip from Martin about 0870 numbers and 0845 numbers, I visited saynoto0870numbers and has it happens I needed to update my credit card details with the CCP, and yes you guessed it the number was 0870 so I went to the above site typed CCP in search and there was the number I had plus the geographical number plus a free phone number, so I rang the free phone number and explained what I wanted to do and the guy said this is the wrong department, so I asked him to transfer me to the right department he stuttered a bit and said yes sir and thats what he did so instead of me paying about a £1 to listen to music I was dealt with immediatelyand for free.
4 months ago again from a tip with Martin I changed to 18866, and have saved quite a lot but the 0870 numbers are 7p a minute and 0845 numbers are still 3p a minute, my normal calls though are just 1/2p per minute and the savings on mobile phone calls are brilliant I went through my last BT phone bill and 4 months of 18866 bills and altogether I have spent £16 on the 0870 and 0845 and over the last year or two more like a few hundred pounds but not anymore thanks Martin
