Don’t dial 0870

There are days when you need to contact a company’s customer services of some kind. You tend to call and have to wait for them to pick up, sometimes for 1 minute, sometimes 10, sometimes 1 hour. A lot of the time, these services have an 0870 number which is a national rate phone number which can get quite expensive if you are spending a long time, and generally, on your mobile, this will not be used on your free minutes.
So I went an discovered something that is genius, or helpful at the very least. 0870 numbers have to be attached to a normal landline number. There is a site that has these landline numbers in a database and it is called SayNoTo0870. You can then look up the 0870 number or company name, and get the cheaper normal landline number. Brilliant!
Now go and save those pennies!
