Yes and we are glad that we can all help one and another.  Apart from checking the search facility here, you can often obtain a Geographic number by going to BT's on line Directory Services and selecting the 'Business' tab.  Often, Business's take on an 0845 or 0870 number but forget to inform Directory enquiries which still in a good number of cases feature the GN.

I'm sure the forum/site owner appreciates it, as well as the mod's and other forum members that contribute to this forum.

Hi,

Found this site yesterday and just wanted to say that I wish I had found it a long time ago. I was getting so fed up with the many retailers that have mainly 0870 numbers to use. One example was that I bought a Hi-Fi unit as a main present for my son at Christmas which was faulty. It cost me approximately £8.00 in total call costs to arrange a replacement- 2nd was faulty as well!

On checking through my BT bill this website will save me a small fortune over time. I have even managed to find my mortgage company's geo number and freephone instead of 0870. This will be handy shortly when I negotiate a new deal just before my fixed mortgage period is due to end. I can really argue the point that loyal customers should have the same deals as new customers as the phone bill for me phoning them will be significantly reduced or if it works free

I will make sure I tell as many people as possible about this site and add the alternative numbers to 0870 that I personally find.

Thanks for all the hard work in maintaining this site. See you soon.

Ps: I hope I have posted this right-in the process of learning!

A brilliant site and one that will save me lots of wasted money on the ever increasing use of 0870 numbers.

I've just changed to Skype for my calls and the 0845-0870 calls can be expensive, but with the SAYNOTO0870.COM 'search for alternative number', my call costs will be even lower, in fact, so low I'll be pleased to buy you a drink.

So that's Skype for calls, try out of BT's light user scheme and the use of SAYNOTO0870.COM 'search for alternative number'.... this time next year, I'll be a millionaire  

what can i say...one of the best web sites ever, thx

Thanks so much for this useful site.

I used to use it in the UK to avoid the call charges, but now I use it from Australia too - all my credit cards, banks, old service providers, etc etc - they all have 0870 numbers listed, but I can't ring those from down under.  But I can if I look them up on here, and so far they've all been listed!

Thanks again - you've saved me no end of hassle!

Cheers,

Just two more new members needed to bring the membership up to a nice round 10,000.

Will there be any special prize for the 10,000 member, perhaps we can have a whip round for a brand new 0871 number for them to keep?

I add my thanks too. This site is brilliant- I have a particular dislike for 0870 numbers...the biggest  legally introduced  con in recent years!
