geographic for 08454565790

Bill

Dear Group

I have tried say no0870 with no luck to get a geographic number for
08454565790
It is number for my employer NHS who also have not been able to tell me
geographic with which I book work.

Not sure if any engineers out their could trace using isdn and find out
where number terminates.

Thanks

Iain

Not all Non geo numbers map to geographic numbers. I don't know why you
need a geo number, if you are calling the number for business then simply
claim for expenses.

I presume he gets calls to normal numbers free but has to pay for
premium rate numbers. It is a lot of hassle claiming back the cost of
calls and some calls get missed.

I think if my employer had insisted on me calling a chargeable number
then I would have either told them to issue me with a BT Charge Card,
claim back each call individually or reverse the charges. All would
have cost them more and if they had any sense then they would find a
normal geographic number for me to call but I would not be surprised if
the NHS just paid the higher costs from all that you read about the way
it is run.

Plus if his company is anything like the one I work for, you might just
see your expenses back within a month or two, that's if you're lucky..!

Hi Peter

I get free calls to geographic number but not 0845
Only part-time worker for NHS believe not able to claim expenses, very
disorganised so many different departments, lack communication and jobs
worth etc.
I have written a letter to administration office, but as before many not get
a reply.

If you have no joy getting a geographic equivalent, other alternatives
might be (if you have spare inclusive mins on your mobile):

With most o2 contracts, 0845 comes out of inclusive mins.
With most T-Mobile and Orange contracts, 07744 comes out of inclusive
mins, so you could then dial 0845 using www.deltacall.co.uk.

Why should he have to do that for business calls?

I would write to someone senior at the organisation and quote the
alternatives with costs

Claim the cost of every call individually
Reverse charge calls
Supply a BT (or other) charge card
Get a normal telephone number
Get a freephone number
Supply a mobile phone though would be my last choice as I do not like
using them unnecessarily.
