This website is something that I just work on in my spare time, on and off, since 2007. In that time, the site has had hundreds of thousands of visitors. (I wonder how much money has been saved in total over the years).
Below are a selection of the nice comments that people have taken the time to send in about SayNoTo1890.com. (Honestly, there’s only been two or three negative comments – I’ll come back to them later).
Tess, November 2011
Just to say thanks .your information is great. i never knew about the 1890 numbers. I had thought that it was to reduce the cost to me not the other way.
Joe, November 2011
I stumbled across your website, which is so necessary. This so called lo-call number thing is such a scam. I am not quite sure who is gaining from it, but it is duping the consumer. People who have to ring Social Welfare and Citizens Information, who are usually the most vulnerable, are being fleeced. Even commercial concerns who are selling products to the public, are now using this number.
Kathryn, February 2012
Many thanks for your site.
Deirdre, April 2014
I just want to thank you very much for setting up and maintaining this website. I have used it a number of times and it is very useful.
Gerry, March 2014
Thank you for what you do.
Liz, February 2015
You’re providing a great service on this site. Much appreciated.
Collette, January 2012
Sorry to hear about your site being ripped off (again). As you probably know by now I have been using your service for years now and find it great so I hate to hear this. I suggest (again) that you make an app version of your site and sell it on Apple and Android. I for one would certainly buy it for my iphone.
Barry, November 2012
A quick message to say thanks for the service. At least someone is fighting back!
Jonathan, March 2013
Just to say thanks setting up a very good interesting website.
Mary, October 2013
Well done to you & thanks a million for taking the time to share with us:)
John, June 2015
hi whoever you are,
Savior of the world!
Just a thanks for a great police service - it's really appreciated!
John, February 2012
Thanks for providing this service, it's particularly useful as I live in the US!
Richie, August 2013
Many thanks for the service and the numbers.
David, November 2011
Just found your site and I would like to commend you for doing this. thank youso much for setting up a great site,have a bundle with eircom rip off if i find any numbers i will forward them to you.
Dermot, December 2012
And thank you for your excellent service that I use very frequently.
Rob, July 2013
Thanks a million for this great resource! It's a real cheek for companies to charge for you to call them...
Pat, July 2012
I am convinced that the vast majority of people are unaware that they are being charged a premium when they call 1890,1850,0r 0818 numbers. A very large number of companies are now using these numbers to sell their services and products.It is another case of regulation failure.Rip off Ireland again.
Gina, May 2014
I totally agree with you on this....nonsense locall numbers my eye. Thank you.
Sean, May 2015
Thank you for providing a great service.
Tim, February 2015
Thanks very much for a super website fair play to you.
Declan, April 2013
Super Website!! especially when my landline calls are included in my package
Cyriel, July 2014
Brilliant website, proven to me again today when I had to call the Revenue property tax. They never send me any documents, withheld the refund on my income tax as property tax was not paid (none is due!) and never mentioned the income tax refund was not going to be paid because of the property tax. Anyway, not happy that I had to call them, and pay for it on a 1890 number... Search on saynoto1890 and found a 01 alternative, WELL DONE YOU!
Joe, November 2013
I'm sick of the growing trend of companies using 1890 and 0818 numbers. Like you I have complained to Comreg, NCA and even the Dept. of Communications, but no one is interested. I just received a letter from AIB changing to an 0818 number. I went to complain to the Central Bank, to see they use an 1890 number themselves. Is there any point in trying to start a petition website or emailing all contacts with sample letters of complaint to send to the Minister of Communications and their local TD?
Marese, October 2013
Thanks for your work on your website, I think it's great. All the best,
John, January 2014
Hi. Love your site and use it quite regularly. How about an app on your phone that gives you all the numbers or when the phone tries to ring out an 1890 or 1850 that the app takes over and gives you an alternative number. the app could be initially free...but as membership progresses ...you charge a nominal fee for updating. Just a suggestion and keep up the good work.
Shane, November 2011
Congratulations on a great website. I'm browned off with these so called lo-call numbers and have not come across your website before. I will be forwarding a link to your website to anyone who's interested. Keep up the good work!
Karen, December 2013
Thank you for the service you provide
Carole, December 2013
Just to say thanks for setting up this website. well done. I found a number here and will be coming back
Declan, December 2011
Nice site. I was trying to explain to VHI that they should not be using an 1890 number, especially for their VHI Global department, whose products only apply to those not living in Ireland. As you know 18nn numbers can't be reached from outside Ireland. They pay n cents a minute for incoming calls too. It feel like a waste of time :-(
Niall, July 2014
Many thanks for creating this excellent service. It's so galling to pay anything to access 'customer services' , particularly when I've already paid my mobile phone co money for minutes! Thank you again!
Keith, May 2014
I'm another one of those people who hates getting ripped off by phone companies and their 'free' calls! My package includes local and national calls and it annoys me to get charged for 1890 calls so I use your site a good bit, thanks.
Paddy, June 2011
Many thanks for your great service
Brendan, May 2015
Your web site is just brilliant and you are to be applauded for helping phone users avoid the rip off that is inherent in so called "lo call" numbering. I use your site regularly.
Dermot, November 2011
Great site, thanks :) The hidden charges of calls from mobile phones to ESB etc. ( not included in Call Plans of any mobile I've had) are sneaky and essentially dishonest. Your site is a great service to Joe Public in the ongoing war against Ripoff Ireland.
Kay, June 2012
Great site. Hate having to pay for calls all because companies insist on giving 1890 numbers out. Well done on helping us save money!
Ken, November 2011
Great work on the site. Keep it up. I try to tell everyone I know about it. Super utility.
Helen, October 2014
As a rule of thumb I refrain from calling any so called low call 0818, 1890 etc numbers as the system is designed not to save the caller money but to make money for the companies that subscribe to these services. Its a sad state of affairs when companies keep callers hanging on for as long as they can to extract the maximum time callers will pay for this service. Deceitful and Shameful.
Miles, February 2014
thank you for uploading all these numbers. Very useful website.
Paul, November 2014
Hi there, I was disgusted to see your site attacked over the weekend. It really sickened me that a random organisation would target your site which is providing such a good service. It just goes to show what a messed up world we live in. Anywya, glad to see you back live. Did your Web Developers or Host Company explain how the attack happened? As a developer it would be really interesting to know.
Ian, October 2012
Great website you have, very handy for people like me who have free landline calls and that can use the alternative numbers listed here!
Daniel, October 2014
Thanks for the great website
Michael, May 2012
This is a fantastic idea. I cen't understand why companies don't ditch the 1890 number altogther mine just did.
Eleanor, October 2011
Thanks very much I love this Great Big Idea. Sorry, though amused, to see that some people thought you were providing a new golden pages. They will doubtless be the ones who continue to phone Joe Duffy complaining about phone charges. Don't get mad, get even. I'll follow with interest, Thanks.
Eric, December 2013
Great idea, I love it!. I have long been frustrated with my phone carrier charging for 1850 and 1890 calls when I have a 'free' calls package. Thanks
Kay, September 2014
Love your say no service and I log on and use it all the time. We have free landline calls and I refuse to pay for extra calls when I can simply dial the correct number with a small bit of research. Very little research thanks to the lists you have provided.
Jacqui, February 2014
Brilliant service. Thanks so much! I used to work for O2 and would refer all my customers to your site. I'm sure I wasn't supposed to :)
Brendan, May 2012
Great service you run, due to company cost cutting I could no longer access ulsterbank anytime on my mobile untill now thank you very much.
Oliver, November 2011
I will put a link to you on m website and mention you on the blog. Thanks For taking the time to put the site together.
Michael, October 2013
Nice site, saved me a few bob!
Peter, February 2014
Fair play to you. Thanks for your service.
Fintan, December 2013
Keep up the good work.
Ruth, October 2011
Really great job, thanks a lot!!!!
Liam, January 2012
Love the site!
John, April 2015
Well done, just came across your site and I think it's great. The number of times I have used the "outside of Ireland number" for credit cards etc, would amaze you. I was in Galway a few weeks ago and I needed to book a room in the Travel Lodge, the mobile provider I use does not allow 1890 numbers (48 Go Conquer, it's from their site I got the link to you) so I had to go and get a Meteor sim and €5 credit just to ring the Travel Lodge. I will say it again Well done, a great bit of thinking!!
Best regards and Thank you
Pearse, May 2013
Keep up the good work!
Valerie, February 2015
Thanks for this great service. Used it today to confirm receipt and activate my new Public Services Card. Instead of phoning 1890 837000 which is not included in my UPC landline package, I called 01 704300 and got through very quickly and got transferred to the correct person. Job done in under 2 minutes.
Frank, January 2013
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE GREAT SITE.
PG, July 2012
Keep up the good work!
Maria, August 2011
This is a great site well done, it cost me 1.94 to ring my insurance com the other day with my mobile only on the phone for a few mins, glad I found this site. Thanks again.
Pat, May 2014
Great site, very useful & helpful.
Peter, June 2014
Fair play to you and keep up the fantastic work.
John, October 2014
Keep up the good work.
Joan, February 2014
Many thanks for information on 1890 numbers. Very interesting and useful Regards
Noeline, January 2012
I used your site again this morning, its the best. sure why would someone pay when your offering such a great free service, keep up the great work.
Christin, May 2015
Thanks a lot for this. I was cut off not realising that I was using a premium number and now I can use these numbers.
Good of you to publish.
Sadhbh, August 2011
Love the website! Saving me a fortune already! Thanks
Mary, February 2014
Thanks for all these numbers! well done to you :-)
Godfrey, June 2013
Thanks for your website.
I have complained on so many occasions over the years about this same matter.
I have also complained about the money paid to TV presenters.
My solution was select one of these Presenters and don't watch their show.
Rating and advertising revenue(or lack of same) will do the rest for us.
There is one further issue about car parking charges being introduced in certain estates and would welcome your comments on how to deal with this matter.
Patricia, May 2012
Firstly I just want to tell you that I think what you are doing is great. Well done !
Shane, November 2014
Firstly i just want to thank you for the website. It has been a life saver especially since i am a student.
Padraig, March 2014
Thank you for your good work with this website
Chris, January 2013
Firstly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your website! These numbers have been bothering me for so long. I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one.
Alan, September 2014
Don't mind the ass holes just keep doing what your doin it's a start in the fight against all the crap that's GoinG on in this country we need more like you . To sin by silence when we must protest makes cowards out of people. sounds good yeah .anyway moving on. On a website scroll down to terms and conditions or privacy or whatever else is there in small print at the end of the page you will find a landline or for international callers always works for me . keep the faith our day will come. . . .
Donal, April 2013
Thank you for a great service.
Ger, August 2011
This has been a bone of contention for me for a while and finding your site has answered my question regarding getting around 1890 numbers. Just wanted to say thanks for your work on this.
Frank, November 2014
I just recently found your site and think it is the best use anyone has made of the Web, so far I've only used it once but I can see me being a regular visitor.
JT, October 2011
I've been using your site for years now and I would firstly like to thank you for the savings I've made as a result!
Mary, May 2014
Excuse what must seem like a basic query, but am I right in thinking all of these companines somehow make money out of callers calling their 1850, 1890 etc numbers? Else why would they not provide ordinary landline numbers?
Paddy, March 2014
You provide a great service-thank you.
Dolores, December 2012
I discovered your website when I was trying to find a geographical number for Sky, who can keep you on a 0818 call for any length of time. I really am fed up with companies listing non geographic numbers as low call which I don't think people realise is of no benefit to them as most phone packages have free geographical calls. I now refuse to dial these numbers. Keep up the good work.
Norma, June 2013
Hi. I don't have your name but I wanted to say thank you, this is a great saving. Have you thought of going to the country with it? Joe Duffy, Pat Kenny or John Murray might well be interested in including it as a feature. Would you mind sending me an email so that I can put you in my address list? Thanks again.
Andrew, January 2012
Keep up the good work!
Maureen, September 2013
Let me start by saying that this is a great site. I use Say No To 0870 in the UK and so searched for a similar site in Ireland and found you. Every time I use your site, whether successfully or unsuccessfully, I sing your praises.
Pat, June 2014
Super site, thanks.
John, August 2014
Thanks for the help, the websites great!
Derry, July 2013
BTW Great service many thanks
Ann, April 2014
YOU'RE GREAT ! Whoever you are
John, May 2013
Great site, really helpful to avoid being ripped off on call charges.
Will, February 2014
Thanks _ great resource – used ptsb geo for difficult account query- took over 30 mins to get beyond autopilot and deal with query- 1890 would have been outside my 3 bundle- asked rep to record my complaint that geo was not on statement – she agreed both should be on with appropriate advice note as the point is to offer best customer service. She said she understood ptsb were subsidising 1890 calls as a service! Could it be true both ends of the call are the paying telecomns for a call which could in my case be in my 3 bundle if geo?
Thanks again
Kathy, September 2014
Love your site
Leanne, November 2012
Thanks for your website. I regularly used saynoto0870.com in the UK and was delighted to find your website when I moved here...I assume you're linked. Great website!
Nuala, June 2011
You are doing a great job, the website is a terrific resource.
Ben, August 2011
Thanks for maintaining this website, its great.
Gary, June 2014
Thanks for all this work.
TJ, February 2015
Thank you for bringing the information re using 1890 numbers ,I can't believe company's are advising us to use these what they call LOW CALL Numbers and charging as much as 3times what it should be . many thanks , tj
Mairin, February 2014
I just want to say a huge thank you to you for your work in saving consumers so much in unnecessary call costs. The number of businesses bringing in these numbers, presumably for their own benefit rather than that of their customers,is growing at a phenomenal rate. Hats off to you!
Thelma, February 2014
You are doing a fantastic job.
I wonder is there any way we can get companies to drop the 1890, & 1850 nos etc and use the ordinary landline numbers?
Would welcome your views.
Aoife, February 2015
just to say well done this is really great. If I come across anything I'll send it on to you, Thanks for maintaing the site
Andrew, August 2012
HI came across your site before , but need a number today and rediscovered it , Now on my links of my safari page .. is there a way we can lobby the government or business and bring more awareness to this SCAM .. This subject is one of my pet hates , Keep up the good work
Graham, October 2013
This is a great service thanks for trying hope this leads to someone else getting through for local rate. Thanks for your assistance with other numbers, much appreciated.
Rafal, July 2011
Thanks for doing great job sharing alternative numbers.
Niall, December 2011
Thanks for your site, its invaluable!
Dorothy, August 2011
Just want to say thanks for setting up such a great site. My son has gone to Canada and decided to set up online banking as he can't check his money from there. Only option when he received his pin was to ring a 0818 number. From Vancouver that would be a huge price. I looked up your site and found him an alternative ordinary number to call. Brilliant!!!
Helena, July 2013
I love your site.
Janice, January 2015
Didn’t realise just how expensive 0818 numbers were and gave up when I tried to contact Debenhams.ie on their 0818 number to resolve an order query. No listing for them, does anyone have one please? Have brought this issue up each time I’ve had to call a 18XX or 15XX number and each time I’ve been told that “this is our only number”. So so glad that this site exists now, I’ve already found a few useful alternative numbers. Well done.
Pat, February 2015
I love your site and use it all the time, keep up the good work.
Kieran, February 2014
Nice one i recently was unavle to call my parts supplier for my business because they have left eircom and are now using 0818 , i call them 5 or 6 times per day (busy)and once or twice (quiet) good to see someone doing somthing here fairplay
Ger, November 2014
I have just found your page and I have been incensed with the exorbitant and unnecessary expense I and others have been put to by necessary public services. Can you tell me why has this happened? Who benefits? Who owns these rip-off phone services?
TJ, February 2015
Thank you for bringing the information re using 1890 numbers ,I can’t believe company’s are advising us to use these what they call LOW CALL Numbers and charging as much as 3times what it should be . many thanks
Mary, September 2012
Tks so much for brill website.it will save people a fortune.just a quick quistion why do vopmanies companies use these numbers.there must be a reason why they wont use there 01 or 051 etc etc....it is fair annoying when you get a phone bill and see all the extras because of These numbers.would companies be willing to give out that number. Tks again.
Catya, September 2013
First of all thank you so much for all your hard work and sharing it with us. It's very much appreciated.
Mervyn, December 2014
Well done. you are doing a fantastic job.keep it up.
ps Is there any way you could publicly name and shame those organisations who do not provide landlines.
Kevin, September 2014
Love the website. It has saved me money on many occasions.
Do you have an app for android or ios or if not will you be developing one. I know that developing apps cost money, so maybe the people like me who have saved money through your website could help towards the cost. I know i would be willing to help.
Thanks again and keep it going.
Brendan, May 2012
Making calls back home from the uk would have been impossible without your site. Thanks a million!
Andy, October 2012
The work you do is very important. thank you so much.
Kay, October 2012
Keep up the great work with this sitel. I hate 1890 no.s and will not call them and use your site to avoid them all the time and then google what I can't find here. Why should we pay for 1890 calls when most of us have free calls within Ireland! Makes me mad that businesses are doing this. I am surprised that there is not more talk about this waste of money for people in this time of recession. You should go on radio to promote this!
Keara, June 2014
nice site, well done!
Hooman, January 2013
I use the site a lot and I find it fantastic. I run a small business and need to mind the costs. I have a landline which includes anytime calling to national numbers. I simply refuse to use 1890 numbers when I have free calling to anywhere in Ireland. Your site helps me a lot to find fixed landline alternatives to 1890 numbers. Thank you for your great initiative.
Eddie, January 2013
Thanks for a great and truly useful service
Valerie, February 2015
Thanks for this great service. Used it today to confirm receipt and activate my new Public Services Card. Instead of phoning 1890 837000 which is not included in my UPC landline package.
Ken, November 2012
Thanks for the site!
Jane, May 2013
Thanks for the site, it's brilliant :-)
Dermot, January 2013
This is a pet hate of mine and I value your site highly as it saves me wasting money.
Do you know if there is a way to find out the number of people who are operating on a price plan or package that includes all their calls to landline numbers in Ireland? This might well be useful in convincing companies to display their geographical number in addition to the 1890 or 1850 numbers. If you know how it can be done, I am willing to do some leg-work to get the answers.
Also, could a campaign be mounted to encourage Leo Varadkar to implement the changes that he so advocated when he was in opposition? And to push for a definition of who, in government or otherwise, is responsible for the foolishness that exists, ie that a system that was supposed to save people money when contacting an organisation is actually costing them extra money. Again, I am willing to give some time to help with this.
Stephen, November 2012
Love the website, keep up the great work!
Marie, February 2012
I think this site is just brillant, Well done on providing these nos to us all. 1850 nos only cost 5c from a land line no matter how long you are on for and 25c on mobile but the 1890 nos and 0818 are a real rip off! Id love to know who is getting the money for these calls. Keep up the good work. and Ill be keeping an eye on this site reguaraly. Cheers Marie
Matthew, November 2013
Just wanted to say thank you for putting this excellent website together. I look it up quite a lot (as you can imagine) and really appreciate that someone has gone to the trouble to assemble all this helpful info. on a website. Good for you, and good for all of us!! All the best
Ingrid, January 2015
Thanks for such a great service.
Liz, February 2015
You’re providing a great service on this site. Much appreciated
Thank you
Brian, May 2014
Your website is fantastic, fair play for taking the initiative. I am the communications -mobile/landline administrator for a county council and I have emailed a link and details regards your site to staff. Under our current Vodafone package, 1850/1890 are not included and charged. I hope staff like myself will be more proactive. I have used both eflow and electric Ireland in the past week. Thanks again and fair play to you.
Anne, February 2015
Thank you for posting . Very helpful .great initiative . Appreciated ,most helpful .
Philip, November 2011
Hi, Just discovered your site through boards.ie great stuff. I have it as a favourite on my iphone but the a/z link doesn't seem to work like on my pc. Have you got any plans on bringing this in app form that will work on a phone. I think it would be a huge success.
Josh, February 2015
I just want to say this is one of the best sites I've ever come across. I'm on a bill phone and it's mad money to even be 1 minute on an 1890 number. So thanks
Sile, March 2014
As a frequent and appreciative user of the information you provide, this website came to mind when I wondered if there was a campaign against the practice of companies answering dialled (charged) calls with initial "info"/ads, which consume expensive phone time, before allowing the caller to access the service they dialled for? They will call it information but frequently it is an ad the caller is involuntarily paying to receive. This may be acceptable on freefone numbers but surely not on charged calls?
Hope my point is clear!
Enid, May 2014
Tax offices and other govt offices are increasingly using 1 890 numbers and there is no landline alternative. Many people now have packages allowing them to call any irish landline for no call charge, I pay €45 pm for broadband, and all irish and Uk calls free 24/7. Therefore it costs me when there is only a 1 890 no? Why is revenue doing this? What is in it for them, could they be getting a share of the cost? You have to hold on and on and then the call can be a long one, i was on for 31 min recently due to revenue ROS system having problems. Could this be another stealth tax by the govt?
Zak, September 2014
You are a STAR. Love you loads.
John, September 2011
This is a really brilliant website and I use it all the time and find in invaluable. Drives me crazy that you are calling to give someone business and they are charging you for the privilege. Keep up the excellent work.
Bill, October 2014
Keep up the good work.
Peter, November 2013
I think your service is great and I often use it.
Patrick, April 2014
I use this site regularly, brilliant thanks
Irene, October 2014
You are doing great work.I do not think people are aware that these lo call numbers are not covered in home and mobile bundles.Thank you
Cathal, April 2013
Thanks & keep up the good work!
Paul, May 2013
Thank you for the website. why is there such a proliferation of these 1850 / 1890 numbers ? do the companies concerned save money by having them ? what is the position of the telecom regulator on this scam ? thanks again
David, December 2012
i have had a bee in my bonnet about
this for many years / so THANK YOU
Josh, February 2015
I just want to say this is one of the best sites I’ve ever come across. I’m on a bill phone and it’s mad money to even be 1 minute on an 1890 number. So thanks
Ian, October 2012
great website you have, very handy for people like me who have free landline calls and that can use the alternative numbers listed here!
Colm, August 2012
Love the website, can't believe I only fund it now, I've been warning people about calling their "lo-call" number, such as Internet banking for years. Where do you get the alternative numbers? Do all 1890's etc have a geographic alternative? Keep up the good work.
Thomas, November 2009
I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent website. I had to call 8-10 insurance companies today to get quotes and all bar Tesco (no surprise there) were available. The whole time cost me €2.40 in an internet cafe thanks to your numbers! Keep it up, I know it must be a thankless task.
Anne, February 2012
Many thanks for your fantastic service!
Peter, February 2012
Firstly, super work on this site. I used the saynoto0870 site in the UK a lot and after moving home I didn't think there would be an equivalent so I was delighted to find yours here.
Cian, August 2013
Excellent website, great resource, as the vast majority of people make calls from their mobiles these days.
Alan, February 2012
Keep up the good work!
Gerry, February 2014
Just wanted tp say thanks for the great service you provide.
Maire, September 2014
Hi Just discovered your website which confirms what my tel accounts keep telling me, that I am ringing these low call numbers which are more expensive if you already have a package covering these calls to various landlines in Ireland and UK for up to an hour... It's absurd that they do not give alternatives and we keep wondering why our bills are so high. My telephone package which includes broadband etc should be €44 a month but it's always adding thing slike these 1890 numbers. Consumers especially older people like ourselves are not very well informed about all this.
John, August 2014
Have you checked with N.C.A. ( National Consumer Agency)and ask them if they are legal under E U law Contract Law . Very interesting as i will check out if they breach E U consumer Law ( My Subject ). I only became aware of this rip off because thats what it is . Dom you have a contact mobile or email address and maybe talk a bit more on the subject.
Brid, March 2014
I use this site quite a lot thank you.
Ferg, January 2013
Great work on all this!
Timothy, March 2013
KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK
Ken, June 2012
Keep up the EXCELLENT work on this site. I use it all the time; I hate being ripped off with exorbitant call rates. Am delighted I can finally contribute a number to your list. :-)

Hi, thanks so much for providing a great service, and for sticking it to the man. If this was an app I think you could do really well out of it. Best wishes

Well done on the website. Great way for everyone to save a few bob. It would also make a great app if it could be developed.

Hi There, I came across your website when I just put into search "what are 1890 numbers", having just noticed for the first time the charges on my Vodafone bill for calls to 1890 numbers, and so many companies use the 0818 / 1890 / 1850 etc. My question is why? Why do so many companies have these numbers...., what is the benefit to the company? And why do you think the mobile phone providers don't include them in their packages when they are so widely used? It is not something they share with you when you sign up for your agreed package, they will tell you 400 free minutes but I don't ever remember them saying to me "but not to 1890 / 0818 or 1850 numbers", they should. If you call an 1890 number from a landline, is it still costing more than just calling the regular 01 +++ number? I am just wondering who these numbers are benefiting?, and they should be obliged to advertise that the locall only applies when dialed from a landline.
