Did you know that you pay National Rates to complain or request assistance from 3UK from any non-3 phone. (From a 3 handset calls to customer service are free using 333 but that wont be much use if the handset or coverage is the problem!)

A new website has been set up to provide customers with landline alternatives to revenue generating 0870's that make profits from consumer problems!

Check out the details here: http://www.saynoto0870.com/

I use it all of the time - can't recall the last time I actually dialled 0870 where the alternative exists on that website. I've stored my most used 0870 real numbers in my E1000 to I can use my inclusive 500 mins to call the various folk I have to deal with.

Can highly recommend it to everyone.

I just came across this - very useful and a great way to deny those companies of revenue especially when you have a dispute with them.

Yes, especially as I'm on Telewest landline with eat all you can for £25 a month (except for non-geo of course). And so it is a pleasure to wile away the minutes, hours and days on their lines that they think I'm paying them a premium for [Not!].

Wouldn't it be great to have a "Say no to 090x" website :-) Bargain :)
