The Say No to 0870.com site is dedicated to offering us Brits an alternative to the more expensive non-geographical phone numbers that companies are now forcing us to use. It’s a kind of opt-out search engine, if you will. Very useful.
If you have an ‘inclusive landline calls’ phone package, then it is very rare that 0870, 0871 or 0845 numbers are are included in your ‘free minutes’ allocation, unlike normal numbers…Many people don’t realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper calls to standard telephone numbers (those beginning with 01 or 02), which don’t apply to 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers.
