087 NUMBER SOLUTIONS
Changed Legislation in recent months now means that all 0870 numbers are charged at national rate. Any customers using these numbers must also play a pre recorded message to all callers indicating the cost per minute for these numbers. 0871 are the new range of numbers to take over from 0870 and are regulated by PhonePlus. There are possible out payments on 0871 but this depends on the amount of minutes that are generated by your customers.
