I complained about this years ago to ofcom and they came back to me that there was nothing wrong.

What brought it to light to me was ntl because at the time they regarded all 0870 as premium numbers, therefore if you had a premium rate bar oops theres goes the suposed national rate numbers too, which actually are not national rate but a special rate. I guess they must have thought again, but only after millions have been made from them. We should get a rebate for the rip off as the telco's were just as much in on this.
