    Companies make money from 0818 number

    http://www.saynoto1890.com/call-costs/

    What is a 0818 number?

    A 0818 number is known as a National Call number. This type of phone number was devised to allow businesses charge an extra small premium above the regular cost of the call.

    Therefore, any companies that provide this type of phone number as a contact point are actually making money from their customers calling them.

    edit sorry for typo in title

    So what? People call a lot of these companies and recieve free information and/or the company will not recieve any future payment from them. You have to pay someone to answer the phone you know.

    Where did you find that website you linked? Its fair cat.

    Are you from Tipp? 'Fair cat' is pretty much in the dictionary here. Though it may be just amongst the screwballs I spend most of my time around :)
