I'm working on a better version of the same kind of service. It will be integrated with a points system too, so calls made during weekdays can subsidise calls made at weekends. More will be annoucned soon.

This is a good post.  How much can you realy make out of the 0870 number ranges? The best I have seen is 0.02p per min  Regards Nadz |

Thank you very much Heinz for posting about www.My0870.com.  I have been trying it out today and I have to say it works extremely well!  The call quality has been excellent with every call so far! Members may like to note that there seems to be a cap of 5 numbers per email address. However, it is very quick and easy to reroute one of your allocated 0870 numbers to a different number: all you have to do is to log in with your email address and password, and then make changes to the routed destination of one of your assigned 0870 numbers. You do this by deleting the pre-existing destination number and re-registering the new number that you require . |

I have received a message from a friend, who is unable to make his own post here currently, that My0870.com have a previously unannounced policy of removing any numbers from members which have not been used for 7 consecutive days. This seems to me to be somewhat cavalier approach, about which our members should be warned. I cannot confirm that information personally - as I have not registered for this service - but now that I have learned of it, I am rather glad that I haven't ! I do hope that Mikael's service will not impose similarly draconian measures. |

Good to see this post being made already. Yes, I too received similar message from My0870. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to conserve numbers, we will reclaim any numbers which are not called for seven days, and return them to the pool of available numbers for other users. If this might cause you problems (e.g. because you're printing cards with one of your 0870 numbers on), then please contact us at support@my0870.com - we'll flag the number as not to be recycled. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I didn't see this message for a while and after two days when I sent a request to my0870 support not to recycle numbers allotted to me, they said the numbers are already reclaimed though not allotted to anyone yet. I didn't respond to it after that. That's not good. But I admit the call quality was too good. crystal clear. If you still want to use the my0870, make sure you log on to my0870 and update your routed numbers before attempting any calls. Otherwise don't be surprised if someone else answers on the other side.  I too have registered for Mikael's new service. Will try it out tomorrow. And I am sure I won't be let down with quality -NS |

A recent update for my0870.com - it seems they have ran out more 0870 numbers and new numbers are not being allocated. The only way now is to update existing numbers you may have allocated to you.

I can confirm that my system is much more sophisticated and can allow multiple accounts per 0870 number. This means some people may get the same 0870 number, but the system will track them independently. We will therefore not need to cancel any numbers given out, and have no plans to do so. This extra work was done so that the service can be scaled up and not suffer from the problem of running out of numbers. This was already thought of before the service was designed.

I cannot confirm that information personally - as I have not registered for this service - but now that I have learned of it, I am rather glad that I haven't ! I was lucky enough to catch the email almost immediately and responded with a "Please don't" message - resulting in the number remaining 'mine'. I can confirm that my system is much more sophisticated and can allow multiple accounts per 0870 number. Sorry, having a blonde moment here - 'your' system? |

I regret that I am unsure of your meaning here.  Did you intend your last paragraph to be a joke or what ?  If so, please take pity on those of us who 'don't get it', and explain what you meant kindly. |

I was merely seeking details of what was referred to as 'my system' (at 04:41:36 PM on 6-2-09, Mikael referred to it [Reply #8 above] but did not link to it or explain what it was/is/is to be). In fact, I was hopeful when, in Reply #1, Mikael stated he was "working on a better version" and Reply #8 appeared to indicate that his further repies were missing. I'm working on a better version of the same kind of service. It will be integrated with a points system too, so calls made during weekdays can subsidise calls made at weekends. More will be annoucned soon.

Thanks for the explanation Heinz. This is one of the perils of a topic being mentioned on 2 different threads !  Mikael's service, to which he referred, is discussed in his OP here. HTH. mh. |

Thank you. This forum's layout is very 'unuser friendly' (I would have though Mikeal would know that) and I missed that thread. I will wade through it now.

I have to disagree with your last comment regarding this forum's layout, Heinz. I have to say quite the contrary: I find it very user-friendly,..and I'm a self-confessed, low-tech luddite! I emailed my0870.com on the 5th February, and have not heard anything back from them about my request to keep my 5 allocated numbers. I now only have one allocated number. This recycling after 7 days is a great drawback with this service. It is a shame as the call quality has consistently been excellent, in my experience. |
