lifting ban on 0845 numbers

kate64412

Hi, we have a few phones that our engineers use with a monthly 'goodie bag' however they are unable to call 0845 numbers without topping up credit and using the credit to ring with. I have been trying to find a way to be able to lift the ban on the 0845 numbers but haven't been able to locate an answer. Any suggestions?

There is no "Ban" they are chargeable numbers on most networks

You will need airtime credit to call them

Have you tried using

www.saynoto0870.com to search for an alternative number

Or there is the app WeQ4U that will search free for you.

Hello @kate64412 use the saynoto08 app which will find local numbers for these

Hi, most companies will supply a 03 alternative that will come out of a goodybag allowance

(so for instance a previous number 0845 609 4343

Call 0345 609 43423)

The weq4u app as mentioned is very useful

Call the weq4u number direct

0333 5432 111

As soon as you hear the automated voice key in the 084 or 087 number

And (on most instances) they'll put you through

@kate64412 look here www.saynoto0870.com for maybe a free 0800 number to replace 0845.

hiand welcome im afraid 0845 numbers are not part of the goodybags bundle minutes and require airtime credit to make those calls.

0845 numbers have been illegal since 2014.Companies must supply an equivalent 0345 number so change the prefix to 0345.

HTH 🙂
