Answer 2

I agree with the other answerers that it's done to keep you on the phone to maximise the company's profits..  However, there is a way around this.  Go to the following website: http://www.saynoto0870.co.uk This site allows you to search for alternative numbers instead of 0870 and 0845 numbers.  This site has saved me a fortune in phone bills.  Hope this helps.

Answer 3

0845 numbers, like 0870 numbers, are premium rate lines. The person who uses these numbers gets a rake-off from the call charge so the longer they can keep you on the line the more they earn.

It's a racket used by banks, building societies and many so-called 'help centres'. Even some government departments use them to take more money from us.

0870 numbers are worst of all, costing 3,4 and 10 times the cost of a normal line. That's how the  radio and TV quiz shows make their money - although they have to show the cost of the call and it is anything from 50p to £1.50.
