BCU HQ Move

From the 20th February the BCU are moving to new premises in Bingham. But they have only given out an 0845 number to phone. This will cost me 3p per minute (min 6p) to phone whereas I can call a standard 01 / 02 number at 5p for any duration! I am also led to believe that 0845 numbers earn them a % for each call. Does anyone have the standard number for them? I for one will not be phoning on 0845

There is a website which specialises in providing alternatives to 0845 numbers. Set up by someone who was sick of this rip off. Don't know what it is though. Sorry. Google should find it I would of thought.

The 982 1100 number just gives a BT message saying that the number has changed to the 0845 number!!!

Using the say no site now gives 0115 9822094 as the main switchboard, the others are the same.

Remember though 0845 is a local rate call from anywhere in the country, so unless you are using free minutes (or live in Nottingham) it is probably cheaper to call teh published number :p
