Expensive Phone Calls...Solved!

If you have any issues with your bank, internet provider or any other large company, chances are you may have to ring a 0870 number. These professional telephone answering services are meant to offer quick, useful advice for what you need but some people end up paying quite a bit to get this help.

A lot of people don’t have landline phones these days and to call a 0870 number from a mobile can be expensive. The time that can be spent waiting for someone to answer, getting passed between departments and being put on hold are all reasons that can extend your call. The difference in cost between ringing from a landline and mobile is vastly different and unfair on people who only use a mobile phone. Even 0800 calls aren’t free on mobiles so users are really getting a bum deal.

If you do have to ring a 0870 number from a mobile though there are some useful techniques that you could try: 

• There are apps available that allow your 0870 call to be rerouted through a geographical number so that it is actually included in your monthly free minutes allowance. Try 08 Wizard or 0800 Wizard.
• The website saynoto0870.com will suggest a cheaper alternative.
• Simply ask for them to call you back.
