sneaky 0844 numbers

Mini thanks for the link. I added it to my icons on my iPad and today used it to find the 0800 number for Next instead of the 0844 one listed.

Worked a treat

Thank you for that Minimouse, I've added it to my favourites xxx

Another trick is to flip over your bank statement to see if there is an international (phoning from abroad) access number beginning +44 as that is usually a geographical landline. Hope that helps

Thanks for that link - I'm putting it in my bookmarks!

If you go on to SayNoTo0870 and tap in the 0844 etc number that you have it will nearly always give you an alternative that's an ordinary landline number or sometimes an 0800 number. I do this all the time.

There's nothing like smugly beating them at their own game

Totally agree. We had an 0844 for our GP surgery and you can imagine how long you were on the line trying to be connected to appointments or test results etc. After numerous complaints there is now a local alternative.
