Thank you for your e-mail.

Our number [0870 412 7060] is not a premium rate number and is actually charged at a local rate when called from a landline.
...
Kind Regards

No they are not local calls . Local and National calls were abolished yonks ago.

The regulator Ofcom made changes in 2009 to 0870  to stop revenue sharing , several landline providers at that time added 0870 numbers as part of their "inclusive" call plans.

If your landline provider doesn't include 0870 numbers in its call plans (or you're making a call outside your plan), then currently depending on your provider charges they would normally be charged the same as 01/02/03 calls, plus the provider's standard call set-up fee. Mobile operators charge more - between 5p and 40p/min.

As luck would have it, there are freephone and geographical alternatives available in the database.

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015
