Is it just me, or do the majority feel this is an underhand way of generating income outside a standard tarrif?

BT will be including them in free call bundles from landlines from this weekend but I doubt the mobile networks will take notice
Try using this http://www.saynoto0870.com/ to find an alternative

As far as I can remember o2 have always charged for these and most 0800 numbers.
Ofcom has been working on the removal of these number types by introducing the 03 number range and most landline providers treat 03 numbers the same as a normal 01 02 number as do o2.
As said before use saynoto0870 to find a 01 02 number and then the call is included this also applies to landline calls as well as they also excluded those until recently on bt but other landline provioders may not follow bt's lead.

BT has started including them in bundles, which might or might not lead to these numbers being included in bundles again. However lots of companies have since switched to 0844 or even worse 0871.
I think the situation with 0845/0870 isn't so bad because it affects all phones. The one I really have a bone to pick on is charging for Freephone calls. It's the one reason why landlines are still useful....
