I am sending this round to everyone I know as I have been told by a friend that we do not need to use 0845 or 0870 numbers anymore.  There is a web site www.saynoto0870.com if you search for a certain company you will be given various free phone numbers of ordinary land line numbers.  It is a big con that companies use 0870 or 0845 they actually get some of the cost of these calls back.  Last year the Pensions people, using an 0870 number, made over £260,000 on the line used for poorer people trying to get benefits.  0870 numbers cost more than 0845, and there is a petition  on this web site as there are a number of GPs now using these premium numbers, which I think is totally out of order.
