Example.. 0870 Phone Numbers
« on: May 30, 2010, 04:01:24 PM »
Hi  :)


Not sure if this website might have already been posted before  :blush:

But while reading through the Talk Talk forum... Just stumbled upon a fantastic Tip!

You know how annoying and costly it can be to have No Choice but to phone a number such as 0870 - or - 0845 - or - 0844  

Well! ... This website gives you the alternative local number: http://www.saynoto0870.com/  8)

Example!
Yesterday my son asked me to phone - Game .. To see if the Xbox game he wanted was in stock at the shop.
So I went on the Game website... But could only find one number for all stores: 08715940066
Ended up talking to a computer that simply said - " This game is available online and in our stores "
We went to our local Game store... No Xbox Game  >:(
Got the shops direct phone number while we were there.
And luckily my son managed to get his Xbox game from ASDA

But if I had know about http://www.saynoto0870.com/ yesterday... It would have saved so much time and money.

Do they have a number you can dial from outside the UK?

If so use that.

EDIT:

Don't look like they do.

It has been on this site before but this time I have bookmarked it  ;).

What I have done the other week when I opened a new account with a building society and needed to phone them (who had a 0870 number ! )    I looked on there web site and found an 0800 (free) but that was for another department  :( but I dialled it anyway, then you got a menu .. press 1 for etc. But I did nothing   Then it put me through to an operator and I just ask for the department I wanted and got put through  ;D
