Thanks for that - a good 'heads up' to everyone about the introduction of the 0872 range of numbers as an 'overflow' to the 0871 range. 0873 is to come later too.

From a BT landline, the prices vary (I just assume 10p/minute at all times but that's worst case scenario):

0872 000 g7 - 10p/minute at all times
0872 001 g25 - 10p for the first minute and then 10p/minute at all times)
0872 003 g7 - 10p/minute at all times
0872 009 g13 - 7p/minute at all times
0872 014 ff28 - 10p/call fixed fee at all times
0872 015 g7 - 10p/minute at all times
0872 016 g15 - 9p/minute at all times
0872 017 g25 - 10p for the first minute and then 10p/minute at all times)
0872 018 ff28 - 10p/call fixed fee at all times
0872 020 g6 - 5p/minute at all times
0872 021 g25 - 10p for the first minute and then 10p/minute at all times)
0872 022 g15 - 9p/minute at all times
0872 023 g15 - 9p/minute at all times
0872 025 g12 - 6p/minute at all times
0872 027 g13 - 7p/minute at all times
0872 030 g25 - 10p for the first minute and then 10p/minute at all times)
0872 031 g14 - 8p/minute at all times
0872 033 ff15 - 6p/call fixed fee at all times

In case anyone's wondering, the Heinz (Orchid) program routes these calls via BT (i.e. with the 1280 prefix) already.

it could cost as much as 35p/pm!

I guess 0872 will not come under the auspicies of ICSTIS (or PhonepayPlus as they call themselves now)?

I think it is actually.
