New parking signs from DCC still showing incorrect LoCall 0818 information

Dublin City Council STILL incorrectly advertising 0818 numbers as LoCallA couple of weeks ago, I started documenting organisations who had websites where 1890, 1850, & 0818 numbers are being falsely advertised. Separately, back in 2013, I highlighted how Dublin City Council were incorrectly advertising 0818 numbers as LoCall on their parking meters all around Dublin.

As I highlighted at the time, this is particularly egregious since I’m assuming pretty much everyone who would be calling that number would be calling from their mobile, and would therefore be whacked with the higher call charge.

Since then, Dublin City Council have been replacing and updating their parking meters, and unfortunately, even though they’ve been made aware of the error in their description of the 0818 number, it’s still wrong.

Dublin City Council incorrectly advertising 0818 numbers as LoCall

I’ve written about this before, and will be following up directly with Dublin City Council, but here’s photo of one of their parking ticket machines where they’re describing the 0818 customer support number for “Park & Pay” as being “locall”. If you check out the “Call Costs” page, you can see this would have significant cost implications for mobile users (likely the only people calling this number).

If you're reading this, you're probably on a PC with internet filtering, or a poor connections, so you're missing a picture of a parking meter
