Hi Just discovered your website which confirms what my tel accounts keep telling me, that I am ringing these low call numbers which are more expensive if you already have a package covering these calls to various landlines in Ireland and UK for up to an hour… It’s absurd that they do not give alternatives and we keep wondering why our bills are so high. My telephone package which includes broadband etc should be €44 a month but it’s always adding thing slike these 1890 numbers. Consumers especially older people like ourselves are not very well informed about all this.

Thank you for the website. why is there such a proliferation of these 1850 / 1890 numbers ? do the companies concerned save money by having them ? what is the position of the telecom regulator on this scam ? thanks again

Congratulations on a great website. I’m browned off with these so called lo-call numbers and have not come across your website before. I will be forwarding a link to your website to anyone who’s interested. Keep up the good work!

This is a pet hate of mine and I value your site highly as it saves me wasting money.
Do you know if there is a way to find out the number of people who are operating on a price plan or package that includes all their calls to landline numbers in Ireland? This might well be useful in convincing companies to display their geographical number in addition to the 1890 or 1850 numbers. If you know how it can be done, I am willing to do some leg-work to get the answers.
Also, could a campaign be mounted to encourage Leo Varadkar to implement the changes that he so advocated when he was in opposition? And to push for a definition of who, in government or otherwise, is responsible for the foolishness that exists, ie that a system that was supposed to save people money when contacting an organisation is actually costing them extra money. Again, I am willing to give some time to help with this.
