Not ecar / bike etc. But it's possibly the parent company

The about page says that the site was launched on 3 April 2006 and is the third site from Southern Rock Insurance Company Ltd. The other two being eBike Insurance and eVan Insurance.

Whois of ecarinsurance.co.uk shows that it's registered to E Group Limited, company number 5474804.

Ebike / car / van/ elf on a unicycle insurance eventually belongs to GroupDirect

http://www.groupdirect.co.uk/groupdirect.pdf
Southern Rock Insurance Company Limited is an associated company of
Group Direct based in Gibraltar..........

.............Southern Rock underwrites a limited amount of business for Group Direct,
and for Hughes and Company in Northern Ireland. They also underwrite

All the phone numbers on their blurb are 0870

As the call will be long has anyone got an alternative number?

Some numbers above (I've joined this to the existing thread.)

01454 634100 is in the database, search "Group Direct"  ;)

For Ecar Insurance the Breakdown Assistance number 0800 1692644/0808 1680752, does anyone know the Geo number? Also who is the company that provides the assistance?

Claim helpline: 08707566875, for office hours 01454 634100 but for non-office hours what Geo number can I use?

Thanks

Why do you want a geo number as these are freephone numbers?

Is the out of hours service provided by another company or at a different location? Or is it simply because the 634100 number is switchboard and it is closed out of hours and doesn't provide the option of putting the call through automatically?

0800 is chargeable calling from a mobile phone.

I'll ask them if the service is provided by another company or a different location.

634100 is the number who deal with Commercial Vehicle and will put you through but closed out of office hours.

You can use the dial through number 020 0222 0700 or 020 0222 0900 to call freephone numbers from your mobile at 01/02 rates.

See the thread Calling 0800 nos from my mobile for more information.

Clever...I will try this. Isn't there a way to use a dial through number for 0870/0845 etc?

Thanks

You should be able to store it in your address book with the 0800 number after it. You will need to insert a pause between the two.

Eg, the entry will read:

02002220700p08001692644

Note that I use 'p' to represent pause in this example. Different manufacturers use different symbols and buttons to input a pause. Nokia uses a p you press * several times until p appears.

Yes, some cheap call providers also provide a geographic 01/02 number for you to call through. However, they will be pre-pay services (you can't just use them on the whim, you'll need an account). I'm no expert, but check out the "Cheap Call Providers" section for info.

So would i be able to use this method for dialling freephone numbers on the "Three" network?

Yes. Assuming you have free landline calls (and the mobile phone providers don't decide to block access to this number - although I can see no reason for them to want to) then you can use this number to call any freephone number.
