I daresay this has been said before but please bear with a newbie!....
From a purely business perspective, the situation with 0870 (and, to a degree, 0800) numbers is particularly irksome for mobile users who are forced to call many of these numbers. As a heating engineer, I frequently need to call equipment suppliers, many of which use 087... probably for money-making reasons. I also need to call National Grid (0800 111999) fairly often, sometimes in 'urgent' gas safety-related situations. It's obviously annoying for me and my business that these calls are NOT charged on call-minutes, especially given that my phone tariff is carefully selected to give the 'right' number of call-minutes without any surcharges incurred.
I wonder whether any of my business partners will actually find any good reasons at all to adopt 03 numbers? If so, I can't see what they are!
