hi there - well thats it really - BG want to change my meter and for me to arrange a convenient time I have to telephone the 0845 050 1268? I can't find an alternative - can anyone help? thanks in advance - jon hall

Although there isn't an exact match for your number in the database, have you tried calling anyone of the several entries when searching under british gas in the verified database?

For instance, you could try any of the Customer Relations or Switchboard entries.  You may have to play dumb and start talking about your gas meter changing and they'll interupt you and say you've come through to wrong dept, etc.  I then would just apologise and ask if they could kindly transfer you please because you're calling from your mobile and don't have a pen/paper to hand to write down the correct number.

Update:

There are also a couple of entries in the Unverified database.  This can't be searched as easily so you have to use IE's 'Find (on this page)...' command (Ctrl-F) and again just search for british gas.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

I avoided their 0845 by sending a Fax (Geo No) and asking them to call me.  It worked!  Try it -- Good luck.

What is the fax number(s)?

Their Fax Number was staed on their letter of notification of the meter change along with their 0845 and other details.  If I remember correctly the meter change work is done by a sub-contracted firm and it is their Fax No: you are given.  Good luck.
