Why do people use 0845 numbers?

I can never understand why people still dial 0845 numbers. 0845 numbers can only be dialled from the UK, so most organisations have to supply an alternative number for callers from abroad. All you have to do is replace the +44 at the start of the number with a zero, and you can dial using the free inclusive minutes on your mobile.

If this does not work, then you can always try saynoto0870.com which provides a list of alternative national numbers to try. However, unlike the above, this can be more hit and miss, as the alternative suggested may no longer be in use, or it takes you to another department within the organisation you are dialling.

If everyone used the national numbers as suggested above, organisations would soon get the message, and 0845 numbers would no longer be used.
