The 020 1009 1000 number does work, but not directly from BT landlines (and maybe others). I called it just now through 18185 from my BT landline.

We have found three other numbers which worked reliably from all providers and on publication they were disabled. It seems likely that that will happen again should another number be found and published.

18185 is a provider. See www.18185.co.uk

You register with them and tell them the telephone number(s) you will be accessing the service from. From BT lines you can dial the 18185 prefix followed by destination number. 01/02/03 numbers are charged at 5p per call.

From non-BT lines and mobiles, they provide geographical and freephone access numbers for the service. The charges levied by 18185 for calling numbers via these numbers are higher than via the 18185 prefix from a BT line. These charges are set out on 18185's website here.

To access the service from your mobile phone you will dial 020 8180 2828, which is 18185's geographical access number. When this answers, dial the 020 number for William Hill.

You will be charged by your mobile provider for calling 020 8180 2828 (or it will come from inclusive minutes if applicable) and by 18185 with 5p connection plus 1p per minute for dialling the WH destination number.

From Virgin Mobile's list of charges, the 0871 number will cost 15 pence per minute at all times. So any alternative we find needs to cost you less than that to make it worth your while using it.

Whether this is the case from your Virgin Mobile phone depends on your tariff.


Can you access 020 1009 1000 from your work phone?

Hi Dave

The 020 1009 1000 number is not recogonised from my home Virgin phone so will presume it wont be recogised from work's phone which is BT if i rememeber rightly.

hi all trying to get the land line number for this number thanks ...

0800 31 88 44

the company is   william hill

I fear that the two William Hill commentary line numbers aren't working now - the 0201 104 8900 hasn't worked for a long time now (and strangely seems to be an order line for someone), and the 0201 009 1000 appears to ahve stopped working (although it COULD still be a temporary blip).

Any help appreciated.

The 020 1109 1000 number does work, but not from BT or Virgin Media and maybe others. I have just got through to it sucessfully using 18185.

You could use 18185:

http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php

Using 18185's 020 dial through number, it will be inclusive with your Orange tariff. 18185 will bill you 5p connection plus 1 pence per minute (billed to the next whole minute).

The telephone number for the William Hill Information Service 020 1009 1000 has not worked on my 3 mobile since last Wednesday 14/10.

A recorded message says "I'm sorry this service is temporarily out of order, please try again later."

It's the exact message with the same female voice speaking as 020 1104 8900 which was the old number.

Does anyone know of a new 020 number?

Thanks.
