stu mac would you till phone the landline for that service if you knew the area code was about 20-30 miles away ?

no but I would not phone the 0800/0845 either, I am sure there is ways of getting local numbers from other areas directed back to you

i use a company called soho66 and you can get as many local numbers as you want directed to your mobile.

Whats the cost for that Kelly?

[Llaaww]

whats the number for ghostbusters   

666

don,t you mean 0800 666 666

1-800 ghostbusters

In the middle of the film's initial release, to keep interest going, Ivan Reitman had a trailer run, which was basically the commercial the Ghostbusters' use in the movie, but with the 555 number replaced with a 1-800 number, allowing people to call. They got a recorded message of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying something to the effect of "Hi. We're out catching ghosts right now." They got 1,000 calls per hour, 24 hours a day, for six weeks.



oh yeh I would always use a landline for a service, so if it goes wrong I can keep tabs on who I am dealing wiith

I would call a landline local number for a window cleaner, I would not call 0800 or any of the others, I think its because they sound too big and impersonal and more likely to rip you off, same goes for plumbers and sparkies etc.
