and for 0845, this is BT's statement:

"...gives your customers a local call rate number, presenting them with an incentive to contact you."

Made changes to http://www.planet-numbers.co.uk/category.jsp?categoryid=8 (0870 numbers) to include cost of dialling.

Once again, it is not our intention to mislead anybody.

Our 0870 and 08700 numbers give your business a professional image and a 'national presence' and are especially useful if your callers would normally be billed for a national rate call. Simply choose your number from our selection of numbers, and our network will deliver calls to your chosen destination - call centre, sales team or service desk. Callers pay 6.73p a minute daytimes, 3.36ppm evening and night times and 1.7ppm at weekends (included on their normal bill).
