Guest Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I believe they can make money out of it. When you get a new credit card there is an 0800 number to call to get it activated - worth keeping for when you want to contact them later on. Personally though I'm not any keener on 0800 numbers. In my new school (which I still hate) the only phone I can use is in the kitchen in the staffroom - I don't want everyone knowing my business! BUT I have free calls on my mobile - of course 0800 numbers are NOT included in my free calls. So for me it's a geo number every time.

The Dogmother Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I have that issue too Pengy - I don't like to make private calls at work (although I have my own office, they are easily overheard) for the same reasons and have the same issue with my mobile. I wait until I get home at lunchtime and have free calls from there, although it sometimes takes all my lunchbreak to sort something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
