Converting 0870 numbers to landline numbers
Hi all,
First posting! I've taken a cable phone service that has a fixed monthly fee and free landline calls. However, any special numbers, such as 0845 (local rate) or 0870 (national rate), are not part of the service and I get charged separately for those calls:( Does anyone know of a web site or method for converting 0845 or 0870 numbers to their underlying landline numbers? I recently read a posting where someone supplied the ebuyer customer services 08704670753 number as 01142016965 which was very handy as I had to wait ages for a reply, but at least the call was free to me :) Thanks Robin |

Welcome to the forums.
I use that site quite often too. Its great for finding alternative numbers for computer suppliers. |

Thanks for the replies and warm welcome :) I can see you're an active group with lots of interesting topics to discuss:clap:
The "sayNoTo0870" site is certainly very useful - even has a way to add numbers for others to share. However, I do have one number I regularly call that isn't listed: 0870-020-1075. I wonder how people have located landline equivalents in the first place? Cheers |
Re: Converting 0870 numbers to landline numbers
does anyone use this service regularly - i have tried but keep being redirected to an 0870 sales site??

If you can't find an alternative to an 0870 or 0845 number, your next best option is to sign up to http://www.call1899.com who charge 7p a minute for 0870 and 3p a minute for 0845 numbers (plus a 3p connection charge).
If you *can* find a landline alternative, you can get the call *FREE* from 1899! There's also http://www.call18866.com who have a 2p connection charge but who are slightly more expensive (eg 9p for 0870, 4p for 0845 and 0.5p/ minute for landline calls) I'd suggest signing up to both and programing their freephone prefixes into your phone so you can pick whichever you want. |
Re: Converting 0870 numbers to landline numbers
can you answer the question about multiple use of the free service for finding landline equivalents of 0870 numbers

All you need to do is go to www.saynoto0870.com & use the search facility to look for a landline number equivalent for the company that you want to ring on an 0870 number. There's no 'service' as such, you just use the site to search for an alternative number. And what a top site it is too. :tu: |
Re: Converting 0870 numbers to landline numbers
Find someone who works for a telco and get them to phone for you, if their PBX is properly set up they'll see the number that that 0870 number translates to. Works for me anyway, calling from work I see the number that the 0870 / 0845 translates to *most* of the time.
