Hi All,

A couple of local organisations are arranging meetings via Teams / WebEx
which off er the option for invitees to dial in by phone.

One includes the text

€śTap to join from a mobile device (attendees only)
+44-20-7660-8149,,1752666438#67393877# United Kingdom Toll€ť

The wording to my mind suggests that this would be a Premium Rate number.
But it appears to start 020
Which doesnt €śsound€ť premium to my ears (but maybe Ive not been paying
attention).

Does anyone know if this WILL be a premium number?


No idea but apparently legit NHS organisations appear to use it:

https://www.kch.nhs.uk/news/public/news/view/31488

Their website says it is calls charged at local rates but then they
probably cannot imagine anyone outside London dialing in!



When you say outside London, did you mean rest of UK or rest of World?

because if the former, you do know that "Local" call rates no longer exist
and that all UK Landline calls are charged at a single National Rate
