Hello NGMsGhost,

I decided to keep it short and sweet, however I did point out the fact most central departments INC the number to complain had been switched to an 03 number, I also pointed out Surrey had been moved to an 03 number as well.

I will see what the have to say before giving them more of a fight.

I have also contacted National Rail Enquiries.

I will link to the post shortly,

If anyone wishes to complain about the local radio stations, there is a list from some brief research at the bottom of this item.

In the case of local radio stations, they would probably prefer to adopt a geographic (rather than 03) number. The original reason for 0845 was only to enable listeners in remote parts of the area served to be assured of a local rate call (when those were charged differently), not to be non-geographic. They could have put this right at any time since 2004, they did not have to wait for 03xx!

It may not be wise to suggest that the proudly (and properly) independent BBC is subject to direction and guidance issued to government departments, no matter how supportive it may be.

I did wonder why they couldn't just use a geo no!
