4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
 

suprised there isn't a thread on this already:

my bill has an offer on the back for 4 free issues of the Radio Times (that special NTL version).

You just have to quote "NTLPACK" when you phone the number.

However, there's no way I'm calling an 0870 number - it's against my principles. Anyone know an alternative number please. Can I just call customer services or is it actually the Radio Times who deal with this?

thanks

Don't recall seeing this on my bill.

Hopefully somebody will know of an alternative way that we can claim our freebie. Is there a web address there or anything?

It's probably just a regional thing. :erm:

Radio Times :eek:

is that museum piece still going ......

The Radio Times is an excellent magazine, free from all the sensationalist soap and Big Brother headlines (ok it has a soaps page but it is tastefully done).

Getting the Radio Times is a status symbol for some people in a way, not because of what it is, but because of what it ISN'T.....you see, all those cheapo 'TV Quick' type magazines are just so.......COUNCIL! :Yikes:

There...I've said the 'C' word...everyone flame away..... :erm:

I thought 0870 was a local number?

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
 

Nope, national rate.

0845 is local rate.

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
 

try putting the number into www.saynoto0870.com and see if it finds an alternative number there :)

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
 

Ofcom have basically admitted that now BT have put everyone on option 1 or whatever it is that 0870 are effectively premium rate numbers now.

They are even more concerned about 0871 which is 10 p per minute - such charges are not what 08 type numbers were designed for.

NTL's call charges are quite expensive - yet 0870 costs more than double their highest rate.

BTW I have already tried saynoto0870.com but with no joy. that site is great BTW and i have coontribued quite a few numbers to it myself.

Interesting to note that NTL have a few 0845 numbers listed which actuallly have 0800 (freephone) alternatives.

What really bugs me is the fact that if I call an 0845 number from m mobile I will get it free and within my inclusive minutes, or at standard rate if my minutes have run out, but if I call an 0800 number it eats into my free minutes and I get charged for it if I have used my free minutes up!

no mention of that in the terms and conditions - so probably worth a try for everyone.

The only catch is that you have to cancell within a week of receiving the 2nd free issue or something.

Offer closes 30th April 2005

Bah ... Paper TV Guides, soooooo yesterday ..... ;)

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
 

It should be noted that the reasons companies use 0870 numbers is because they make 2p/minute out of every call.

Like you, I refuse to use them out of principle as well.
