B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

There's a websiteCalled Say no to 0870 which lists the "normal" number that corresponds to the premium rate number.

Yeah, great iphone & Android apps tooBut I have noticed that calling main landline numbers for the likes of IBM, HP and some govt departments - when transferred 90% time calls are not connected due to 'reasons'

Sometimes that's because a lot of the call routing logic and even queuing is done at the network level (the 0845 layer) before the call is delivered to the final delivery numbers (i.e. the 'real' number). The number of physical lines behind a 'real' number might be limited and they could all be busy or even defunct. For instance one single 0845 number (e.g. HMRC) could route to 50 real numbers in 5 call centres.
Saynoto0870 et al are great but the best solution would be for Ofcom to force providers to include calls to 08** numbers in your bundled minutes.
