We are being pushed by our PCT for reasons too complex and boring to detail
here to get a new phone setup, separate from their switchboard in the
building. W were offered this sort of arrangement, and, to all those
Luddites who object, I'd like to say that the cost to the patient is the
same as the BT cost. BUT I also gather that within a few months Ofcom is
going to insist that all organisations using 0844, 0845 and 0870 number must
list a geographical number as al alternative.
We shall see

Is this the case with 0844? We were forced to move to 0845 by our PCT
some time ago, we certainly don't get anything from the calls, these
are all charged at local rate. My gripe is that people with deals
including the cost of local calls still have to pay on top for 0845.
Cheers Geoff
