I'm looking for a non-geographic equivalent of 0845 330 9876.

If they are going to keep me on hold for hours at a time I don't want
to pay for the privilege!

There's also an option to press 1 (or something) to be called back by
the next staff member.

Used this the other day to keep my call cost down when it was getting
obvious the queue wasn't moving quickly...

I tried that once.

Do they actually bother phoning people back now? They never did me...
