Find out how you can save on the cost of calling the big businesses that like to put you on hold.
What's the deal?
Whenever you need to call your gas/electricity/phone company or any other big business for that matter you often end up dialing an expensive non-geographic number (those starting in 0800, 0870, 0871 etc) that sees your phone bill wracking up the cost as you sit on hold.
'SayNoTo0870' is a handy site that provides a list of alternative geographic (those starting in 01 and 02 and included in many call plans) and freephone numbers for these companies so that you can call them at the UK's standard rate.
How do I benefit?
Visit www.saynoto0870.com and click onthe 'Search to find an alternative number' tab in the top left hand corner of the site. Then, either enter the name of the company you're looking to call or the 08XX number you're trying to find the alternative for and press the search button. They'll then bring up a list of the geographic or freephone numbers you can use to contact the company in question at the standard rate.
