If that company had a number that was paid for by an 0870 or 0871 number maybe they would be able to employ more staff If however you do have that time to spare and are dead against 08... numbers then you can go for a company with a free or geographical contact number, different companies to suit different peoples preferences.
Or they may just use those numbers for the revenue share! that is why they use the queuing system and covertly extract money from unsuspecting callers, otherwise they could use a low cost 090 number,(these can cost as little as 5p per minute),and cannot have queuing as they are under ICSTIS rules
And if you have no choice? like DVLA, HMRC, DWP, ARGOS, etc!
And yes, you
might be able to source
some of these numbers on "saynoto0870",but the companies do not advertise the geo numbers.
