0870 numbers

Whilst it is typically perceived that the attraction of 0870 numbers to businesses promoting them is the revenue share payments received, they are in fact the only non geographic number range that can be called from outside the UK so they are invaluable to any company or organization with an international client base or workforce.

There has been much confusion in recent months due to OfCom's announced intention to align the cost to call 0870 numbers with the cost to call 01 and 02 numbers thus removing the revenue share and generally creating a cost per minute to the number owner. Unforeseen technical problems resulted in OfCom putting their plans on hold however it is anticipated that 0870 numbers will attract call costs from Autumn 2008.
