The number for Public Enquiries, 01527 504448 gives you a recorded message with an 0870 number.
The alternative number you refer to was listed for 0870 606 6575, which has the same message, thus it is still the alternative number. I believe that this is for the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which has some connection with The Law Society.
The Law Society
states on its website (bolding as copied):
Quote:Please note: these helplines are for solicitors and their staff only and are not available to members of the public. If you are a member of the public and have a query about using a solicitor please go to:
www.sra.org.uk.
The numbers 0870 606 6575 and 01527 504448 answer with a recording redirecting to the main number, 0870 606 2555 whose alternative is 01527 504450. This latter number is also given on the
SRA contact page for "International" enquiries.
