0300 numbers

It nevers fails to amaze me how new Business Telephone Number ranges are issued by the regulating body Ofcom without them fully informing the public as to the benefits of their useage.

Take, for instance, 03 numbers. They are absolutely fantastic for businesses who need to move away from 0870 numbers, and its now possibly to dial these numbers for free from mobiles which comes as a nice surprise when some mobile providers announced in 2009 that calling any 08 pre-fixed number from a mobile was now between 10p - £1.50p/min and when you are overseas it can be even more - so dont phone your bank when on the beach in Marbella.

Agreed. Another example, local authorities such as doctors surgeries. You are forced to telephone for appointments, as opposed to simply walking in, subsequently becoming captive to long and very expensive queues! Wouldn't it be great if they all took on the 03 numbers across the Uk?

If I'm forced to listen to "You now have fifty choices", atleast let it be FREE!
