Know how er er infuriating it is when the gas company unduely inflates your bill? To add salt to injury you then need to call them on thier premium rate number to draw their attention to the error.A move that might end up costing you how much you are being over-charged in the first place .What with the `press 1 if this , press 6 if that`.We have all had reason to contact a customers service centre one time or the other . Be it the banks, phone companies or travel companies they are all in the premium number game.
Well it transpires that these companies do have normal lines with local rates. Staffed and equipped to deal with queries.So why have two numbers one premium , the other local ? Just another way to fleece the customers of course.Below is a list of some of companies with 0870 numbers and their local rate alternatives:
