Surprise, surprise, 0844 477 numbers are charged at g6 rate - the highest (5p/minute at all times) 0844 rate possible.

They might have had an argument (but a poor one) if they'd picked a 4p/minute number because that's the BT rate for a weekday daytime UK 01/02/03 calls now.

Anyway, they used to publish 01376 574341 as their number - http://www.essexpartnership.org/vip8/com/Community/dis/content.jsp?channelOid=18... and that number was answered by an answering machine announcing, "This is Jan Cole of the Rural Community Council of Essex" at 21:50 tonight - so it's still in use.

I have added it to the database (but it needs moving the the verified database now).

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

Has anyone on this site put together a 'Say No to 0870'-branded template letter that we can fax or post to companies that make misinformed statements about their use of non-geographical numbers? Because I would be happy to do some serious faxing in this case. The use of an 0844 number annoys me, but telling blatant lies about the cost of calling it is the thing that really winds me up.
