some companies ban them because sometimes some rogue phone companies like Xero 9 who was fined by ofcom was giving people missed calls on there mobiles and then they would expect the victim to ring back the number at 50p per minute, keep them on hold saying please wait while we try to connect and then the call would cut off.

O2 blocks a lot of calls to 070 numbers as well.

They are expensive and should be renumbered to avoid confusement with mobile numbers.

Maybe you should get an 0871 number???
