Dont pay for 0870 numbers

Stop paying for costly 0870 numbers by checking out if the company you are calling have an alternative free (0800) or local rate number using www.saynoto0870.com
Many people don't realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper calls to standard telephone numbers (those beginning with 01, 02 or 03), which don't apply to 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers. - Please see the links page and click on Cheapest Call Provider for price details. This shows that by using multiple providers, you can reduce your call cost on standard telephone numbers to as little as 5p fixed cost (regardless of duration), whereas the cheapest provider to 0870 numbers during the day that I am aware of charges 5p/min (+ 7p connection fee) to call.
