UK VOIP - What network for 0560 number

Default What network for 0560 number


Is there any where I can find out which VoIP provider is using
056007xxxxx

Ofcom has issued it to Coms Ltd. Can't find anything about them, and
wouldn't appear to be a VoIP provider themselves.

Thanks,
David

Interestingly you cannot get that number from a Telewest line - they appear to
have barred it.

It's not that they've barred it, they probably haven't enabled it. NTL
refuse to do so altogether and with NTL and Telewest getting closer by the
minute it wouldn't surprise me if they're the same in that respect.

If you register as a customer with 1899 you should be able to call an
056 number for the same charge as a standard landline call - namely
3p/call. That gets round the NTL problem and gives you a cheaper call.

Using 1899 from a non-BT (via 0808 number) you are charged a per minute
rate, not the 3p per call.

I am on NTL and I can dial 0560 numbers no problem so it must be a local
thing.

A few NTL exchanges have been enabled, but NTL have stated that they are
not going to enable further exchanges.

You are absolutely correct...sorry about that. Still cheaper than
Telewest with their 6p connection charge. Now that they have moved
away from their 'simple' pricing system (TW speak: simple=more
expensive) they have gone even more simpler for daytime calls, so,
even if 1899 do charge per minute it's nothing like the charges that
TW make.
