0840 numbers from abroad (Read 51,769 times)

jmb Newbie Offline Posts: 1 Gender:	0840 numbers from abroad Jul 18^th, 2006 at 11:12am My local GP surgery (elias and partners, bexhill) has installed 0844 numbers, which for 4p+ per minute listening to automated dialogue is pretty disgraceful. I note however that the 'overseas tel' number looks suspiciously similar at +44 840112 7553. Does anybody know what rate that will be charged at?

Are you sure that wasn't (or shouldn't have been) +44 844 112 7553?

It would depend on what the overseas telco decided to charge (I have heard some treat 0870 numbers as Premium Rate so it's likely to be very costly - if it's even possible - to call into the UK on such a number).

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015
