Prefix 070 (then 8 more digits) These are so-called "personal" numbers.<br>
They're a blot and an anomaly. They are expensive to call and the<br>
recipient usually gets revenue from the calls. ie. they are premium rate,<br>
revenue generating numbers in disguise.<br>
<br>
"In disguise" becasue a lot of people (in the UK) don't realise this<br>
because they look like mobile numbers - which start 07[1-9] then 8 more<br>
digits, so they think they're calling a mobile, when in-fact it's costing<br>
them much more.<br>
