And yet another person who is still not aware that there is no difference in cost between local and national geographic calls.
Shiggaddi,
If only there were just not aware and this was the real problem. Perhaps you might then given them the benefit of the doubt if you received the same standardised lie letter from any part of the Royal Bank of Scotland group.
The real problem is that these people receive so many complaints about 084/7 numbers that they have been given a standardised lie to repeat about why they use 084/7 numbers.
And because Ofom's regulatory and investigative staff are so pathetically unerstaffed and inclined to always give the benefit of the doubt to a telco these companies know that they can get away with peddling these lies.
But how can they do this in the face of all the clear cut ASA bulletins and guidances on the cost of these numbers to their own marketing departments.
