    All none geographic numbers have a direct dial in number behind them and Oftel (telecomms watchdog) forbids any holder of an 08 - 09 number in making these ex-directory. So, here they are, a huge list of well over a thousand companies. Search for the company you want to ring and find the alternative number and get cheaper calls.

    Example; Tiny computers technical support £1 per minute on 0906 558 0237 (Direct dial in 01282 684 732 local call rate charged)

    Thanks for that Paul. I use an inclusive package with OneTel where all my UK calls are included for a monthly fee (about £11). It's always made me angry that 0870s et al are not included.

    What a great site. Already used it today. Mind you I've read of some companies refusing to speak to people when they find out what they want and refer them back to the 0870 number!
