Gentlemen,



Not all 0704 calls are an outright scam. Patient Line. That's the phones
beside the beds in hospital, they use 0704. I have a relative in hospital
right now that I have to phone.

Yes it's a bit of a scam as I have to pay:-

39p off peak per min

49p peak per min



Call charges soon run up if you don't watch.

Phone in the day and its £5.00 for 10 min. opps!



One of the problems with this system is the keep you on the phone for 1 min
12seconds before the bedside phone rings, thereby racking up the charges.



On reflection, yes its a outright scam.
