Sorry, but I think that this is a legitimate use of a NGN. They are probably using the revenue from this to provide the given service.

It's a 2p/minute number. Presumably it's therefore costing them for you to call it.

Have you tried just asking them if there is a geo number, saying you need to call from a mobile.

Their website (www.conferencegenie.co.uk) suggests they can offer 01/02 numbers, but presumably you will end up paying a fee for the service.

Its the legitimate use of a ngn ( Provision of a free conference call service ).

They use a 5p 0844 Access Number during the day. A 2p 0844 Access Number Evenings and Weekends. If you have a BT Landline you could get this down to 1.5p a minute during cheap period by using their International 0870 Access Number.

If you want a geographical access number,they will provide one if asked ,but as they will make no revenue from its use,they will charge you to use their service.

Just noticed they are up front about revenue sharing.

See: http://www.conferencegenie.co.uk/faq.php

"Is it really free? How do you make money?
Yes the service is really free. You only pay for the cost of the phone call. We get paid a small fee from our phone provider for each call made. "
