020 number vs 0845 number for business services

No they aren't free.

Use a call diverting service that uses your free minutes.

Ah. That could go some way to explaining my £213 mobile phone bill the other month. /o\

With the exception of Santander, (who barred UK calls to them on Jan 1st 2010), calls to either number route to the same place.

I regularly call Santander on a landline number. It effectively doesn't cost me anything because I use Skype and pay a few quid a month for unlimited landline calls (as described above).

Also I'm pretty sure last week I had to call an 0845 number from here when I couldn't find any alternative on saynoto0870.com

That reminds me, there's a pretty good saynoto0870 app for iPhones which lets you type in the number and ring the geographic number equivilent of the 087 or 084 number.

TBH I didn't find the app that good and most times ended up back at the site.
