Hi and welcome to SAYNOTO0870.COM.

Thank you for submitting this number; I have moved it to the verified listings. 

Try 01484 300455

from http://www.bizwiki.co.uk/doctors/507270/bradford-road-medical-centre.htm

Not very good allocating an old doctor's surgery to a private residence.

Hi and welcome to SAYNOTO0870.COM.

You are in the area with more GPs using these premium numbers than any other in the UK. It's not impossible to find the proper local number for these surgeries.

I have searched and not had any joy. These systems give practices a group of numbers, each is used for different staff (extensions), including the main IVR (menu). If you can find one, the IVR number may be within that range.

For example, supposing you find the number 01484 123467 goes through to one of the practice's extensions. The 0844 number usually goes through to an IVR which is based on a geographic number at the surgery. So, you might find that 01484 123450 is the alternative.

In the past, I have found clues in the form of:

• a member of staff's direct number, such as one given on a website advertising a job at the surgery in question.
• a direct number for district nurses when they are based at the surgery in question.
• a geographic fax number which is within the main range. Not all are, some are just numbers on their own.

I haven't found any of the above, but you may find numbers written down at the surgery, for example a list of outside geographic numbers for staff and rooms at the surgery. This may provide a clue. If you do find such information and would like further help, then feel free to come back here and post it.

Thats a different practice on Spring Road which is also run by Dr Butt, they number is also 0844 now and the 01484 number is out of order. thanks for your efforts again,

Is 0344 the same as 0844?   Whereas I get 'free' calls with 01, 02, 03 numbers, does that apply to this and 0370 ?  (sorry to have moved this slightly off topic).

Ofcom set stringent regulations concerning the charging for ALL 03..... numbers --- that the cost of 03 numbers must be the same as calls to geographic numbers.   Stated here :---

http://www.ofcom.org.uk/media/news/2007/02/nr_20070213b

03 numbers are being introduced as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers like 0870. Calls to 03 numbers will cost the same as calls to geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02), and be included as part of any inclusive call minutes or discount schemes in the same way as geographic calls.

Revenue sharing – where the dialled party can receive a share of what the consumer pays to make a call – will not be permitted on calls to 03 numbers.

Ofcom intends these requirements to apply to calls from all types of line, including mobiles and payphones, Ofcom Chief Executive, Ed Richards said: “Consumers will be able to dial 03 numbers with confidence about the cost of their call. We expect public services and many others to view 03 numbers as a real alternative to higher cost 08 numbers.”


So you should have no concerns about costs when calling 03 numbers.
