I don't think they are marketed as mobile numbers though - the only place I've seen this claim is in a know-it-all VoIP internet blog from Singapore or somewhere like
I've actually seen it on the side of a small transit van as a contact number where it read, "Mobile: 070.....". There are probably others as well that market them as mobile numbers.
The fact that some may not market them as mobile numbers though does not stop consumers ringing them thinking they are mobile numbers simply because they begin with 07 same as mobile numbers. IMHO, this was stupid of Oftel (pre Ofcom days) to do this in the first place and allow revenue sharing on them even to the end user.
