The foreign ones are the worst

Hello I'm calling from Virgin Media...

*Pause*

Cust: I don't have a carphone warehouse...

At that point I refused to continue the call

We had the best call yesterday

Customer - I've been trying to ring this office, but the number isn't working, its not ringing and they aren't answering the phones
Advisor - Ok, what number are you ringing for them?
Customer - 0800....
Advisor is thinking to himself that we don't have 0800 numbers, but lets her continue.
Customer - 1330
Advisor - 0800 1330? Is that it?
Customer - Yeah
Advisor - You do realise that thats the opening times don't you? 8am - 1.30pm

Phone goes dead

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/phones/0870-say-no

Up to 8 times a normal call cost. On BT's basic package, calling a landline during the day costs 3p/min (local and national rates no longer exist), yet calling 0870 numbers is 6p/min. A normal 30 minute evening call costs 5.5p/call, but it's 45p to an 0870 number.

Tbh that is cheap as fuck compared to some Premium Rate numbers that are a fixed price per min I wouldn't waste my time with Paypal personally. There's even a website called http://www.paypalsucks.com/ ffs
