I sent an e-mail to these people pointing out the wrongs of this number, and received the following:-
Thank you for your email regarding the above.
The statement on our site in the contact us section is actually a throwback to the times when we first started using 0870 numbers (around 1998 I believe). At that time the statement made was entirely accurate (according to our telecoms providers) but since then the situation has changed. We did in fact make the same statement at various other points on the site and in our other promotional material and following changes to the rules these references were removed.
The statements will be removed from our site very shortly and we will obviously undergo a review of other items to ensure that customers receive correct information.
As you are no doubt aware the rules surrounding 0870 (and other 08XX number ranges) are about to change and we will of course ensure that whatever route we choose to take for the future, all regulations will be complied with.
To correct one of your points, according to Offcom, under current regulations 0870 numbers are not within the definition of premium rate numbers.

Still believing OfCoNs definition of the word "premium"
The spelling of the word Offcom, (with 2 ff's), in the highlighted part, is as it was sent in their e-mail!
