Re: 0845/0870 just for you
Its actually better than that (turn your letter over) - from August you will get 0870 calls (but NOT 0845) included in your particular tariff, in the same way and to the same extent as 01,02 & 03.
The add-on you have to register for covers 250 minutes of 0845 calls or 0870 calls outside the time of day/week covered by your tariff bundle.
Yes, I know its as clear as mud and the way the two will work together will have to be clarified but its a start.

Re: 0845/0870 just for you
I received a letter this morning about price increases and the free 0870 calls. There was no mention of registering for 0845 numbers.
Will this be sent under separate cover or is it just for the chosen few?
Did I ask this yesterday? *confused*

Just for the chosen, I'm afraid.

Re: 0845/0870 just for you
I got a letter today which is probably the same that Moira received. I have the Anytime Call package, and the letter stated that calls to 0870 numbesr will be free and included in this package from 1st August. You don't have to register, I guess registration is only required for other packages, I don't really know

Re: 0845/0870 just for you
From what I gather everyone gets the free 0870 calls from August, but only the chosen few get the 0845 deal. I actually think it's quite unfair as I'm sure we all try to avoid calls that are going to cost us money on top of what we are already paying. It's one thing giving away 1,000 free TIVO boxes to the 'lucky few' as you can't really expect them to give them free to everyone, but I think this is just plain mean

I just think it depends what package you're on, and there's always saynoto0870 for 0845 numbers

I think all those 0844/0845/0870/0871 numbers should be free. My GP surgery has just started using an 0844 number, which means a connection fee of over 12p and then over 8p a minute for the call. Considering how long you are kept on hold after going through various menus, I think it sucks
Not sure what package you have to be on to get the free 0845/0870 deal, but the friend I have who has just got it has a more basic package than ours. I always use the saynoto0870 site but over the years it's got harder to find numbers as more companies change to only having the paid numbers

Re: 0845/0870 just for you
What you should fairly be saying @AlabasterLyn is that companies who use these numbers (which give them revenue at our expense) should be using 01-03 numbers or better still freephone numbers. This is especially galling when it is a communications company profiting from poor service as Virgin tried to do previously.

I don't suppose you have a link for this, I can't find one on their site.
