As of recent years there has been some controversy on 0870 Numbers where as some believe that ending the revenue share generated from the phone calls will benefit the consumer many believe that it will have the opposite affect.

As if revenue share on 0870 Numbers were to STOP overnight then businesses and Telecoms Providers would not only lose a good proportion of their income but Telecoms Suppliers would be forced to re-introduce or increase monthly rentals on Business IVR Systems and 0870 phone line rentals as the 0870 rebate helped subsidise the monthly rental to as much as THOUSANDS of pounds per month.

Making these services no longer cost effective for the large majority of businesses and therefore with NO 0870 income or IVR Call Management System it is likely that the quality, effeciency and customer care of some businesses would be affected, as the loss of income is likely to result in the loss of jobs.

It has also been predicted that many organisations would LOSE their 0870 Phone Numbers overnight as many have been purchased via resellers, so as resellers were to no longer receive a commision from the calls generated on their clients 0870’s it is expected that some may “disapear” and therefore their clients number may be shut down or reclaimed by the Telecoms Provider, loosing a businesses phone and fax number could not only lose a good proportion of their business but it would make THOUSANDS of pounds of previous advertising useless!

Some believe that some “Say No To 0870″ phone number supporters are unaware of the facts that (1) Calls to 0870 Numbers cost just 1.5p per minute on weekends (2) Calls to 0870’s in the evening cost around 3.95p per minute (3) Calls to 0870 numbers are charged at National Rate regardless of where you call, depending on the price plan calls to an 0870 Number can be cheaper than calling a 01 or 02 Non Geographic Number!
