Why do companies use 0844 ?
« on: July 08, 2015, 08:10:10 am »
Why do companies use rip off 0844 numbers ?   Drives me crackers when you need to order work stuff, and they want to charge you even before you have ordered !!!!!  :(           Want to watch the ashes, and sky have this rip off number too !

I can see a business opportunity for us Shane(this is my real name)  if you want to look for salon, I will get onto looking at at finding a wax suppler who offers discounts for bulk orders ! 
We need a catchy name though . . . . . " we clean your windows, and your cracks ?

Hahaha  ;D how about 'Shane cleans your windows whilst Samson cleans your cracks!'
If we get a salon, I think I'd be better on reception answering the phone and you can do the getting your hands dirty bit  ;D

Don't you think it would hurt getting your sack waxed? I mean, after shaving my head, I usually shave my sack and a few times I have caught it in the shaver....IT REALLY HURTS!!!!! ;D

I use an 0845 number myself, but I supply the ordinary landline number too.  The 0845 is hardly a rip off at 3.5ppm.  Some of the bad publicity around these numbers is unfair as some cost little to phone.
I got mine years ago when it looked like I was going to be moving to another telephone exchange area.  It would have been easier just to point the 0845 number to the new number rather than having months of confusion letting everyone know the new number.  As it turned out, I stayed put anyway.

The trick is to make sure it isn't cold so it doesn't look like a walnut, or small brain !    By warming it with a hair dryer, and using a mach 3 you are assured of a smooth shiny finish  ;D

Also try weQ4u on android and maybe ios, it finds alternative numbers for you, dials them and waits in the queue for you
