DOES ANYONE KNOW ....

Post by R@YAL F@IL »

Does anyone know how much firms get from having a 0845 telephone number? My next door neighbour got a P739 and wanted to phone the delivery office to have Royal Mail resend the parcel which is a 0845 number, I think she was after me getting the parcel for her but I am on annual leave :nana

That question goes to :hmmmm
NO bags on shoulders please except for Moya who keeps her big fat wage packet in hers

Non-geographic numbers: The cost http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/0870-say-no" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

0845 'Lo-Call'. Can cost up to 7p/min

Don't confuse Lo-Call with local; numbers starting 0845 aren't as cheap, though are now more frequently included in ‘free calls' packages. Sadly many small businesses actually pay to have these numbers, misled by old promises that they “look more professional and attract custom”, without realising that these days their customers have to pay more.

Quick Costs (daytime): BT 5p, Talk Talk 4.5p, Virgin 7p, Sky 6p
