Say NO!!
All
Some useful advise I have found .....
When you ring a company - Gas/Electric/Water/SKY etc. they always get you to ring an 0870 number or something similar.
What you may not know is it costs a lot of money and those companies make more money the longer they keep you holding on for them to answer and/or going through loads of options before you actually get to talk to someone.
This link gives you a site where you can put the 0870 number in and it will search for a cheap number which will do the same job - worth trying before you ring?
