OfCom move to charge customers for 0870 numbers

Ofcom has advised that a statement on the regulation supporting 0870 number revenue share payments should be made by Christmas this year.

Changes will be made by telecoms watchdog OfCom, which will see businesses with 0870 numbers charged for calls which have in the past either generated revenue, or  were received free of charge.

A lack of clarity has provoked complaints from businesses and consumers alike, who expressed dissatisfaction with the cost of non-geographical calls compared with local equivalents.

As a result, businesses with 0870 numbers are being urged to update current 0870 numbers with 0871 or 0872 in order to continue receiving the same revenue share, and avoid paying hefty new call charges.
