How To Stop Calling Expensive 0870 Numbers and start using cheaper ones

Sadly many people don't know that UK telephone numbers starting with 0870, 0871, 0844 etc are a money making racket for all involved, except of course for the poor consumers.

  • For example, call your bank or credit card company to complain and there's a good chance you'll be charged!
