How to find alternatives for 084 / 087 phone numbers

Fed up with paying extra for calling numbers starting with 084 or 087 on your mobile? This is a problem on all networks, even if giffgaff's 20p per minute is more reasonable than what some other networks charge. The good news is that in most cases you don't have to call these premium numbers as there is usually an alternative geographical number that gets you through to exactly the same place. The best place to find these is on this useful site http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php
All you need to do is enter the 08 number you want to call and a list of suitable alternatives will be provided within moments where available. If you've discovered your own elsewhere you can also submit it to the database if it doesn't exist there already.

Remember that Freephone numbers (0800 etc) are FREE on giffgaff (unlike on other networks) so you don't need to find alternatives for those!

You don't always need to use the web site.  Many organisations give a standard UK number to be used by people abroad.  It usually works from the UK as well :smileywink:
