Chilling say no to 0870 numbers - save££££'s

Sick of paying top dollar to phone companies like Sky etc....

Use this link, type the name of the company you wish to phone and see if they have a geographical phone number.

I get free local and national calls therefore using this has saved me a few quid I can tell you!!!

SAYNOTO0870.COM - Non-Geographical Alternative Telephone Numbers

Cheers

Scott

Unfortunately a lot of the companies are aware of this web site.

You ring the 'alternative' number and the company will switch you to the 0870 number.

But it's still a good tip

How do they do that? Surely if you've dialled a normal number that's all you can be charged for.

I think it should be illegal for companies to be able to do this to be honest.
