I have Onetel, but the sods charge for these 0845 type numbers. Normal STD numbers are free as part of my broadband package, so every time I am presented with a 0845 type number nowadays, at the first call I ask them for an ordinary 01 number. You get some strange replies to that too...
I think the 0845 numbers are just local rate.
The 0870 numbers are a pain and I believe the recipient of the call gets a cut of the cost too.
I don't know anything about the 0900 numbers 'cos I'm a good boy I am.
