This one especially for UK readers….
The guys over at TechDigest have got wind of a new iPhone App that could make your calling potentially quite a bit cheaper. We all know and (don’t) love the various consumer call numbers, like 0870, 0845, and the like – these usually carry form of premium to them, depending on the exact code.
What perhaps some people don’t know is that most of these number have back-door local rate alternatives – and these are quite often provided since not all consumer call number work when you are abroad for example. But most people don’t know these alternatives, until now!
The 0870 App checks a consumer call number that you enter, and tries to find the local-rate alternative in it’s database – neat!
The App already exists for Android users, so it’s good to see it crossing Operating Systems.
