It is a good email, but did it receive a reply? Mine did not either so I will reveal the charity, guess what it is the British Heart Foundation!

I'm am always nervous of revealing the names of charities, bill, I believe you should give them a chance to correct matters first.

So let us start by revealing the names of some Charities who have denied the fact that they or anybody else makes any money out of 0870.

I'll start it off with the Great Ormond Street Hospital, they refused to say who was making any money
out of the number. You can send your comments to Mrs Christine Monk at:
monkc@gosh.nhs.uk

All this information is available at: http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?regno=2...

As is a lot of info about charities incuding their A/cs, some of those make very disturbing reading.

Email sent to Daily Telegraph's David Derbyshire today:
[email]Dear Mr Derbyshire,

You suggested in your recent article that charities were justified in using the 0870 prefix, "as they needed the income".

I have so far been unable to find any charity who are making any income from using the number!

They have all been conned by a telecom company that has offered them a free switchboard in return for creaming off the 2 - 3 pence a minute commission that these calls generate.

[/email]

Just like the doctors!
