NTL telephone number
Was just passing NTL's "offices" in The Vale (which seem to be practically deserted these days and made a note of the telephone number on an NTL notice in the window which was for equipment collection as a move out of the NTL area is on the cards for us sometime soon (yay!)...
The number in the window was 0345 11 44 55 - which doesn't seem to be active - has anyone else had heard of this number? I did see a number on this forum somewhere for the Moving dept which I think was very similar to the usual NTL number...

Re: NTL telephone number
0345 was replaced by 0845 abt 3 years ago AFAIK

Re: NTL telephone number
I thought it might've been... but I think they also have an extra digit in them as well now so it might be 0845? 11 44 55 now (The ? being a missing digit) as I tried it as 0845 11 44 55 but just got the unobtainable tone.
Shows how much NTL are concerned about getting their equipment back then!

Re: NTL telephone number
I would imagine that number has been deactivated. A large number of unused or little used 0845/0800 numbers were deactivated towards the end of last year, saving ntl £millio ns in phone charges to BT! 0345 numbers were, as scooby says, moved to 0845 a few years back.

You're right, all 0845 numbers have seven digits after the code, and I think (if it's still active) it's most likely to be 08457 11 44 55 - but it may no longer be active. Besides, you can call the 0800 052 2000 to arrange a box collection - and that's free!

 NHS Direct = 0845 46 47 (that's all - just 4 more digits)
P'raps they're well endowed (like stuartbe) and hold more 'sway' with Oftel (or whoever). :pp

Re: NTL telephone number
Childline is another example of a company with a short number - 0800 11 11 whereas you look at a company like QVC and it's 6 digits after the main code. And now NTL with 7 digits after the 0800 - although some people refer to it as 08000 then 6 digits.
Life was a whole lot simpler when you just had to pick up the receiver and ask the operator to connect you!
But anyway, that's slightly off topic!
