Hi,

Unfortunately, no call blocker can protect you from making calls yourself to 
070 numbers, so I'd say it's your responsibility if you do that.  However, they 
can block those numbers using various methods, as I have outlined with Truecall.

All the best

Stever

there was a time back in the days of dial up where something would get put on 
your computer what would then call a premium rate number and you'd know nothing 
about it till you got your bill and it'd be for a small fortune.

my argument is that it'd be your phone provider who you'd be paying that money 
to, who would say there's nothing they could do about the charges, of course 
there was, they didn'tneed to hand them over to a non legitimate set up, that'd 
soon put the low life's out of business.

Hi,

Most of these expensive numbers are just redirects to normal 
geographic numbers. Before I ring one, I tend to check 
saynoto0870.comto see if the geographic equivalent is known.<div

Hi George,

Please see my note to Trace regarding the calls to my brother while 
he was in hospital; I believe that this was the hospital, or their 
management company, who are still responsible to the CCG who were 
responsible for this as a means of adding to the coffers. While they 
do need to cover costs the need of patient's relations and friends 
should not be forgotten.

I guess this might be getting a bit political so I will stop here.

Trace brings up a very good point here, so have started a new thread.

"The phone companies are actually as bad in some ways, take the 
premium rate numbers that in the past people have rung not knowing 
they'd be charged an arm and a leg for doing so, the phone companies 
say that they can't do anything about them, of course they can as its 
the phone companies who we pay our bills to and so it must be they 
who pass on the money, hardly roket science not to is it."

I have no objections to paying a reasonable telephone fee for support.

However what really does brass me off is being on hold to these 
numbers for an excessive length of time while being told, "Your call 
is important to us
- please hold."
