I realise that. It's just that I'd like to use my mobile (using my inclusive minutes) to make these calls.
The 0844/0871 numbers are the only source of income for this provider. Use of any other geographical numbers would therefore result in service being obtained without payment being made.
This is a reasonable use for such numbers. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
If it's international call providers you're looking for, then I suggest you look at MoneySavingExpert.com. Providers such as
18185 offer 020 geographical numbers and the charge extra on top of this.
South African landlines are 3 pence per minute plus 4 pence connection. Calls will come from inclusive minutes as well.
