YAC Numbers and Ofcom mandated warning

[DimPrawn]

I called it from another mobile too and still no problem/warning.

I've got an 0700 number that forewards to my mobile and it is working as normal, no preamble about call charges.

What are you on about?

Maybe yours doesn't cost more than 20p a minute to ring it? Mine does, and I've just rung from work and got a warning message about how expensive it is to ring.

YAC. Is this a Jeff Minter thing?

YAC. Is this a Jeff Minter thing?

No. That's YAK.

[NotAllThere]

Oh. Well in that case, is it related to YACC?

I'm loathed to put my real mobile number out there!

What is your objection?

[TheFaQQer]

I don't like giving out my personal mobile number to agents.

I don't want to have two numbers / phones to use.

I like being able to switch off the YAC diversion so that when I'm away / not working, friends can get me but agents can't.

I'm thinking SkypeIn and a SkypePro account might be the way forward - will have to look into it tonight.
