Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / February 2008Always a fixed-line number connected a non-geo number?
Is there always a number for a normal fixed-landline connected to an 0844 (0845, 0870, 0871, etc) number? If there is then could I always ring the fixed line number instead of the 0844 number? Or are there ways in which the owner can switch the normal number off and that way make sure I use the 0844-type number. > Is there always a number for a normal fixed-landline connected to an > 0844 (0845, 0870, 0871, etc) number?

This has been discussed just a few threads ago! Often there is a fixed number as the way most telcos used to handle these involved routing the calls to one or more fixed numbers (dependant on time of day or other factors). However, this is *NOT* always the case and some such numbers can be handled without any translation involved.  SignatureAdrian Kennard, on his Mac... Andrews & Arnold Ltd.

Check out www.saynoto0870.co.uk I've used it for years for alternative numbers for 0870, 0845 and 0800 number to dial on my mobile.

Hi, Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to a geographic number: 0845 # <--> Telco Switch Equipment / Network Etc. <--> Termination Point Where termination point can be: - VoIP connection - direct to premises dedicated line (e.g. data ISDN, fibre, etc., etc.) - redirection to a geographic number - other The more fundamental point is that some people cannot call 0845 / 0870 / 08x etc. numbers (e.g. some callers from abroad, some callers using telcos that do not terminate to 08x numbers, etc., etc.). Hence, such organisations (Local Authorities, GP's, etc., etc.) generally are required to, should or need to maintain or have at least one geographic number on which such restricted parties are still able to call them. (Particularly, their may be emergencies in which such a restricted party seeks to notify the party they are calling of an emergency concerning that called parties affairs, operations or facilities, only having a potentially uncallable NGN 08x type number is extremely foolish to say the least and potentially down right negligent, etc., etc.). A side upshot of this is that whatever geographic number you do find or get given, may not necessarily provide the same exact point of termination or facilities / services of the NGN 08x number - e.g. it may not connect to the same or any call centre; it may terminate directly to a single individuals desk rather than offering an IVR menu of options; etc. etc. (may not support out of hours, advanced functions, access to operator or may terminate direct to operator only, etc., etc.).

I have got to be honest and say I am not at all clear what you mean in your opening sentence: Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to a geographic number: 0845 # <--> Telco Switch Equipment / Network Etc. <--> Termination Point I am sure it will make good sense but only once I have had it explained! Can you or someone spell it out a bit for me. Thanks. >> Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to a >> geographic number: [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Can you or someone spell it out a bit for me. Thanks. Hi, Lol... Thanks for your post / reply... In short... it is, as I subsequently thought... not necessarily the best or an overly clear structure... but works on the premise or format basis of (I think, assume or understand based on how awake or asleep I may have been when writing it and whether it actually makes any sense at all) : Example: "Whilst X can be Y... 'some details poorly punctuated'... leading on to [with the word 'but' missing]... Z is the real issue". Hope that helps a bit... try running all of the first thirteenish lines together (as one sentence ish). Others will doubtless be able to expound more fully on the proper names for the attempted type of (English) language structure I was aiming for... etc.? Best wishes, News Reader P.s. In short call it bad punctuation / structure (or short / slap dash hand), etc. :) >>> Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to a >>> geographic number: [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Hi, <SNIP> For the sake of being even more OTT (read: specific or [potentially] helpful) about it: " Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to a geographic number (**START OF OPEN BRACKET** here follows a quick in parenthesis overall structure or system example: 0845 # <--> Telco Switch Equipment / Network Etc. <--> Termination Point Where termination point can be: - VoIP connection - direct to premises dedicated line [e.g. data ISDN, fibre, etc., etc.] - redirection to a geographic number - other **END OF OPEN BRACKET**) ... the more fundamental point is that ... etc. " Hope that helps.

Seems to be your beer that's been speaking! Have fun. At least when you wake up in the morning you probably won't remember any of it. :-) >>>>> Whilst non geo numbers can be terminated without redirection to >>>>> a geographic number: <SNIP> >> Hope that helps. >> Best wishes, [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > :-) :) |
