I have put in an FOI request for the geographical numbers for JobCentre Direct.

In the meantime I discovered that they use numbers in the region of 0151 353 4701 to about 0151 353 4780 (as mentioned in my last post). Some numbers may not exist.

I personally don't think you get through any quicker because calling the 4701 number appears to put you through to the next available person.

When I was trying these numbers I got through to some staff (again new claims though) that were surprised to receive a call from the public because they had put their phone as busy (therefore they shouldn't have received any calls about new claims) but because I had dialled direct I got through. Therefore if this happens just claim you don't know how you were put through to them because you rung the 0845 number and therefore it must be a problem with their call handling equipment.

When they finally answer the FOI request (and assuming they provide the geographical alternative) then I'll add it to the database.

The reply to my FOI so far has been that they've released the geo for new claims (which I already knew and is the number in the database) but they had queries over the geo for job searches so that is still ongoing.

Few months ago, Dave suggested that JSD has a specific range (in which the last 4 numbers end in) between 4701 to 4780. So, I tried a few, and it happened to be 4760 so that how I got it.

Or "what company provides your telephone equipment" take a look at the FOI thread and youll see more,

You've never head of the Freedom of Information Act? Shocked

Government offices and certain other organisations such as the BBC are covered by this. You can put a request in to a body asking for whatever you want to know about. See this page. Also, have a look in the FOI section on this forum for some examples.
