TRANSFER TO 0871 NUMBER
Dec 11th, 2009 at 5:29pm
 
Hello
The Customer Services for Interparcel is an 0871 number for which I found the geographical number (12393). When I called this number the receptionist said she would transfer me to the Customer Services number.
Can anyone tell me if she could have transferred me to the 0871 number?
I would think that it would be illegal to do so, but does anyone know if it is possible.
Thanks for any replies.

Hi there and welcome

As I understand it, the number you dial is the number you will be charged for.

i.e. if you dial a geographical number you will be charged for that irrespective of where they transfer you to.

I think I have got yhat right and if I haven't there are others here who will correct me.

You cannot be charged at a different tariff for the number you have dialled. If you dial an 01/02/03 number, you will be charged at 01/02/03 costs. She could transfer you to an 09 £1.50 a number if she wanted, but you will always be charged the 01/02/03 rate.

Hi and welcome to SAYNOTO0870.COM.

sherbert and jgxenite are entirely correct. Call charges are always as per the number you dialled. It is not physically possible for the call rate to change.

When someone puts you through to another number, they make an outgoing call to that number, and thus incur any applicable charges.
