(It's not just for 0870 numbers, it covers 0845, 0800, anything that is not geographical).

I use it all the time rather than ring these (expensive from Spain) numbers.

Sorry scampicat, I should have thanked you for the useful link.

So we have this odd situation where Sky pretend to believe that all their subscribers are in the U.K. - haven't they ever looked at the ads in the C.B. News?

Of course, they do know but they want the money/subscribers as well so they don't hunt for the offenders. Let sleeping dogs lie as they say. However, if someone is daft enough to tell them they are not in the UK then they have to be seen to be doing the "right" thing from a licensing/copyright point of view.
