UK 0870 number guide
0870 numbers are generally expensive to call, generating payouts for those using them, but all that's changing. From August 1st 2009, 0870 numbers will cost the same to call as UK landlines, bringing their era as money-spinners to end. From this date forward, dmClub 0870 numbers will feature:
- Forwarding to a fixed line or mobile of your choice, anywhere in the world
- Forwarding to UK landlines from 1.25ppm
- Cost-effective forwarding to the 4 major UK mobile operators
- Voice and Fax Unifed Messaging services are available
- Advanced call handling services (such as dmSwitchboard) available
- Free signup option (for basic dmConnect service)
Regulatory environment and public tariffing
General regulations for UK telephone numbers apply, but there are no specific rules pertaining to 0870 numbers.
As of the 1st of August 2009, 0870 numbers should be charged at UK landline rates.

dmClub product history
| Date | Changes |
|---|---|
| 1st August 2009 |
From this date, 0870 numbers will be charged at UK landline rates. Due to Ofcom changes surrounding the regulation and tariffing of 0870 numbers dmClub's 0870 tariffs were revised. 0844, 0871 and UK Local numbers were offered as alternatives to all our 0870 customers, and we introduced a 'Parallel Migration process', to ensure calls to an 'old' 0870 number are diverted to the new alternative number (when customers take advantage of the offer).
