What a typical slimey marketing man you must be jason fields. I see you have now run a mile having finally realised that your scam has been rumbled.
1st of all i'm not concidering offering 0871 numbers. I don't agree with companies earning revenue from their customers calling them directly. For that they should use a premium rate number with clear call costs listed.
I'm happy to talk to you. I just don't need the agro to be honest! My reasoning for coming on here today was not to drum up business.
I was just interested to see what people had to say about 0870 numbers.
Shall we start over?
Let me explain a bit about me before I get gunned any more!
1st of all i'm not a salesman. I'm a web developer. I'm 19 years old and run several IT and telecoms companies. I started promoting 0845 numbers after getting one for my own web design company 4 years ago. My 1st 0845 number service was called UK0845.com which became RoboTelecom when our services increased to Outbound and mobile services. I've always thought of the 0845 service as a happy service. Saving companies from paying for inbound calls and saving customers call costs when ringing from a national location. As you are aware over the last few years landline call costs have been seriously reduced, and the 0845 service has not caught up yet. The call cost does need to be reduced to come into line with normal call costs. This doesn't make 0845 numbers evil. It just is an issue that needs to be sorted out. Just remember how much it used to call to dial a national location!
I can understand your reasons for setting up this site, and for having issues with NGNs. NGN providers exist for a reason and that reason is that there is a demand for these numbers.
