Time to change supplier, HyperD. BT are having a laugh if they're not giving you a slice of the pie. These numbers are also handy to submit for internet call backs.Originally posted by hyperDI have an 0870 number from BT - charges at national rate (7p/min?) but I do not get any slice of the action.

Even better, get yourself an 0871 number (10p/min at all times - you keep about 4.5p typically) and put it on your CV as your contact number.
Quick and easy to do (and usually free). Fight fire with fire.

So aye, would be inclined to advoid these agencys myself0870:UK callers pay the normal national rate for their call while your business benefits from revenue generated from incoming calls as well as appearing to have a nation-wide set-up.

0870 numbers
I have noticed some agents specifying contact numbers with an 0870 code.
It is my understanding that they earn an extra 4p per minute on the call - is this correct?
It is my intention to avoid companies that do this.Tags: None
