I have now got my own 0871 number. Their minimum payout is only £5, so ideal for low useage.

Also, I believe you can't call 0871 numbers from abroad, so hopefully once it's fully circulated with all the large companies I deal with, I might not get calls from India asking for payment protection on my credit card. Also, if call centres are unable to call me, then if it's that important they can write to me instead.

The company I used was www.thenumbercompany.co.uk

Their rates are 3.75 (day) 4.25 (evenings) 4.75 (weekends)

Also their 0870 rates are 3p minute (days only) and no rebate for evenings and weekends.

There's no set up costs, or rental costs.

I've had no problems so far, but I've only been using them about a week. I've tested the number a couple of times on my mobile (but not answered) and it works fine.

Also, I've been shopping around for car insurance, and of course submitted the 0871 number as my home number, and a few companies wanted to call me back to get me a better deal than the online quote!! (and put a couple of pence in my pocket at the same time!!)

My number was set up very quickly, so just hope things run well with them in the future.

I have been giving out 0870 numbers to these companies for a few years now, and then when the 0871 number became free to set up / run, I got one of those numbers too.

The UK Number shop are now paying: 3.5p per peak minute - 4p per off-peak minute - 5p per weekend minute on the 0871 numbers!

When you sign up just ensure to use your name in the Company Name section, unless you have a company name obviously!

I tried that company as my first port of call. I did put my name in the company section, however they rejected my application, because I was not a business, and they don't allow residential customers to connect.

I then explained my situation, that I'm using it to give to insurance, banks etc, and they thanked me for my explaination, and just suggested that I use google to find a service that allows residential customers to connect numbers.

I can recommend UK2Numbers. I was referred by one of their resellers on this thread. I got a free 0870! The require a minimum usage of 30 minutes per month, but I don't have to make a minimum. It was up and running in about 15 minutes.

Their customer service email is quick. It usually takes 10 minutes at the most for a reply. I even got a reply after 10pm at night!

Yes, I did look into getting a premium rate number.

There are alot more rules governing the number though.

You need to buy recording equipment, and register the fact that you operate a "premium rate service" and you also need to make a bond payment to ICSTIS.

It is possible to get a premium rate number from another company, and officially "work for them" with them doing the recording, and already having paid the bond.

However, in order for the number to work, the company will provide you with a short intro prior to the call being connected, stating that the call is recorded, and the cost of the call, and queueing is prohibited on 090 numbers, and a delay in answering the phone, ie no 1571, and leaving the phone ringing is in breach of those rules.

Also, I think there's rules regarding "live" or "recorded" Getting the 1571 all the time when you're paying for a "live" service could cause complaints.

And some call centres have premium rate barring, and some even have 0870 barring, and Indian call centres probably can't call non geographic numbers abroad anyway!! Good way to get rid of them, lol!!

To find out how much you have earnt, depends upon your provider. Some have online access and others send you a monthly statement.

The provider does not normally require your bank details. The common practice is that to obtain your money, you invoice the company for the amount you are owed, based upon your statement. Companies then normally send you a cheque. Most companies impose a minimum refund amount to keep costs down. This may vary from £25 to £300. Some companies pay no rebate whatsoever if you do not receive enough income.

You package is unlikely to include details of the source of incoming calls as standard. Normally you will have to take out a secondary call registration package.

Obviously each provider is different, so you may want to check with yours, what their policies and extras are.

If you need any further help, please contact me. I must advise you that I am a supplier of NGN's, and as such am familiar with the deals offered by other comapnies, and would be pleased to tell you what I can offer you.

This is intended for the selective use for those companies that expect my business to use only (and pay for!) their 0870 / 0871 numbers.

This will get you an 0871 for redirection to a 020 or 01 code landline in the UK. Does not include mobiles.
