By using 0870 (etc) then patients are deterred from ringing in. its that simple.

Every site that I have checked gives 0844 or 0870 numbers. I thought all NHS facilities had to give out geographical numbers now.

My partner's surgery changed to 0844 about a year ago. This is how I found out the REAL number. The first time the surgery phoned HER, the number registered on 1471 (or caller display) was the REAL number which we have used ever since without difficulty. Naturally I registered it with SayNoTo0870.com. Shame it's only helpful to those in our immediate area. Hope this hint helps others. More hints gratefully accepted. Cheers, Plunky.

Hi and welcome to the SAYNOTO0870.COM forum.

Thanks for adding the number to our site. It's good to hear you've found a way around the charges your partner's surgery imposes on patients.

The whole 084 consultation seems to have been a waste of time, apart from to demonstrate the strong opposition by patients to these premium numbers. Whether anything will be done, I'm not so sure.

Please let us know of non-working numbers in the database and unverified numbers that are suitable alternatives by posting on the forum (the Requests section) as such posts will receive my attention.
