Hughmer Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Not strictly a motorhome thread but I hope you and your friends find this useful: If like me you're on an inclusive call package 01/02 numbers cost nothing to dial but I always get charged for 0870 0845 etc Search on http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php It will often give you an alternative 01/02 number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This has been discussed before and a search should find the thread for those who want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughmer Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 What a silly old duffer I am. There was me thinking I was being useful and if ONLY I'd found a thread marked " Freephone numbers on mobiles" I'd have realised that the 0870 issue had surfaced before... well nearly 2 years ago. I've been subscribing to this site for quite a while and I must have missed it. I'm so sorry if I offended you by daring to repeat what some new subscribers to the site might find useful/interesting and hadn't suddenly thought to themselves:- "I know, I want to find out how I can save money by not dialing 0870 numbers, I'll just trawl the MMM website and see if anybody's written anything about it" I only meant to be helpful. I'll go and eat some umble pie now. (and apologies / acknowledgments to enodriven who I think was the first to publish the info) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 No need to apologise, a reminder now and again is no bad thing, and there will be some amongst us that don’t already know...... :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred22 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks for info. I have put this site on my favorites and also filled in NHS petition. May save me a "bob" or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 No need to apologise as good information is never out of place and there will always be newer readers who will not have seen the original. If everyone did a search before posting or asking and found their answers thereby no one would ever ask anything again and the forum would be all the poorer for it. So keep 'em coming everyone!

fred22 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The problem here, as far as I am concerned, is that the search facility does not always work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 It's always good to have useful sites/ links brought up as reminders, or for those that have not yet seen them, so anyone who feels there is a useful link please post. I have always used Sayno to 0870 but now that 0845 and 0870 numbers are included free in my BT package it is a bit redundant. It is well known that the search facilities on here are a bit less than helpful to use. Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The problem now is that the big boys who made money out of 0870 and 0845 numbers now use 0871 and 0844 which are still chargeable. B'stards! C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 For those of us who only have mobile phones now the 'Say no to 0807' site is very useful indeed to find 'normal' land line numbers as they are deducted from our inclusive minutes whereas 0870, 0844 and 0800 numbers are charged for! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob b Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 What a great website! I've got my motorcaravan insurance renewal in front of me. The number to ring is an 0871 number. Using the say No... I've got a 'normal' number.A bit of a bloody cheek considering they're anxious for a renewal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I found it useful for finding an alternative number for my doctor who has an 0845 number ... bl**dy cheek! Now I've got a nice 'normal' number to ring. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmbeedee Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've used it today when renewing my TV licence. Their website didn't work - again - so after five frustrating attempts decided I would have to 'phone. 0845 or 0844 number given, so check it out & guess what? They have an 0800 number! So full marks & thanks to the OP for highlghting this website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
