I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent website. I had to call 8-10 insurance companies today to get quotes and all bar Tesco (no surprise there) were available. The whole time cost me €2.40 in an internet cafe thanks to your numbers! Keep it up, I know it must be a thankless task.

Brilliant website, proven to me again today when I had to call the Revenue property tax. They never send me any documents, withheld the refund on my income tax as property tax was not paid (none is due!) and never mentioned the income tax refund was not going to be paid because of the property tax. Anyway, not happy that I had to call them, and pay for it on a 1890 number… Search on saynoto1890 and found a 01 alternative, WELL DONE YOU!

Tax offices and other govt offices are increasingly using 1 890 numbers and there is no landline alternative. Many people now have packages allowing them to call any irish landline for no call charge, I pay €45 pm for broadband, and all irish and Uk calls free 24/7. Therefore it costs me when there is only a 1 890 no? Why is revenue doing this? What is in it for them, could they be getting a share of the cost? You have to hold on and on and then the call can be a long one, i was on for 31 min recently due to revenue ROS system having problems. Could this be another stealth tax by the govt?

Excellent website, great resource, as the vast majority of people make calls from their mobiles these days.

Thanks for your website.
I have complained on so many occasions over the years about this same matter.
I have also complained about the money paid to TV presenters.
My solution was select one of these Presenters and don’t watch their show.
Rating and advertising revenue(or lack of same) will do the rest for us.
There is one further issue about car parking charges being introduced in certain estates and would welcome your comments on how to deal with this matter.

I stumbled across your website, which is so necessary. This so called lo-call number thing is such a scam. I am not quite sure who is gaining from it, but it is duping the consumer. People who have to ring Social Welfare and Citizens Information, who are usually the most vulnerable, are being fleeced. Even commercial concerns who are selling products to the public, are now using this number.
