Can I make it quite clear that nowadays the problem lies with the 0844 and 0871 nos. and not with the 0845 and 0870 nos. I run a small business and chose an 0845 no. as this enables customers to call me at a cheap rate and enables me to provide an easily memorable no. for my customers. I am also aware that 0845 and 0870 nos. are often included in free call packages, from BT for example.

Can I suggest that we change the title of this thread from 'Say no to 0845' to 'say no to 0844'.

BUT...it's not free from a mobile and is in fact charged at extortionate rates. Same with the 03 numbers and many others. It's only local rate if you're on a fixed landline so, as lots of people use mobiles as their primary telecommunications device, the consumer is still losing out.
