Dialling 0870 and the “new” 0871 non-geographic numbers can be expensive however there is an alternative that could help you to pay less.
Usually 0870 and 0871 numbers are redirected to a normal land line, so if you can find out the normal number you can call them at normal charging rates depending on the time of day.
Even if you have a package of calls with your home phone or business phone provider such as free weekend calls or unlimited land line (01 & 02 dial codes) calls then you can literally cut out most of your other call charges, as they will become part of your “inclusive minutes” and so become effectively “free”.
Mobile phone companies usually exclude non geographic numbers such as 0800, 0845 & o870 from their “inclusive or free minutes” packages and a call could end up costing you as much as 35p a minute depending on your usual mobile call rate.
An excellent website SayNoTo0870.Com provides an alternative to these numbers by providing an internet search service that will help you to find the actual 01 or 02 local or national landline number … find your local or national landline number here
