The number is operated by “Switch Call Ltd” www.switch-tele.com
They can be phoned at 0117 946 88 88. They have other numbers on their website but this is the number they give for “overseas” callers – always best to use that. They can also be emailed at these addresses:

accounts@switch-tele.com
sales@switch-tele.com
support@switch-tele.com
numbers@switch-tele.com

They will probably tell you that they just rent the service to one of their customers who is abusing it. The fact is – they are well known in the industry as a problem. Basically, they are scum.

This is true only to the extent that ICSTIS website will inform you which telephone company originally owned that number but due to number portability, it may be incorrect.

Although calls to 084x/087x are a premium rate in that they cost more than a geographical calls, calls to them are NOT regulated by ICSTIS so therefore they can't/won't help except to tell you which telephone company the number originally belonged to.

However, from around January 2008, calls to 0871 will be regulated by ICSTIS.

Switchcall have now taken 0845 route see:

If you happen to be on an O2 contract you can call 0844/0845/0870 numbers out of your inclusive minutes anyway.
