WARNING ITS A CON



Course it is 1189 is cheaper than 0870 numbers anyway!.....


Going the 0870 route you start to pay the instant the call through
operator answers the call. You pay while you are keying in the long
international number, you pay while *they* route the call through, you
pay while the called party's phone is ringing, and you still pay all
this if the called party never answers.

Oh, and any telco except BT can charge whatever they like for 0870
numbers, and they may/may not come out of inclusive minutes packages.
