Lincs2advice use of 0844.
Jul 24^th, 2014 at 4:43am

Newly launched information service for people in Lincolnshire funded by lottery money using 0844 number for landline callers and 0300 number for mobile users. I wonder whose clever idea this was.

They claim 0844 is a national rate,dont mention connection charge,and they say they dont make any money from callers.

"Calls to our national phone service (0844 number) will be charged at five pence per minute from a BT landline and may cost considerably more from mobile and other phones. We do not make a profit from the costs of calling our telephone services."

Reply #1 - Jul 24^th, 2014 at 2:06pm I see that, under the 0300 number on the home page, the website states "Calls to 0300 numbers from landlines and mobiles are included in free call packages" so that suggests that they have not done what CAB (?) did some time ago and somehow bar landline calls to their 0300 number from getting through.

They are only quoting standard info about 03 numbers.EG Its included in inclusive minutes.

I did however call the 03 number from a landline and it was answered by their answering machine. So it can be listed as an alternative.
