When calling from outside the UK (i.e. +44 870) many operators charge the call as a " Premium Rate Service" or "Mobile call" (sic). Examples: AT&T [15], CommuniTel [16], SkypeOut [17]. The result in most cases is that the cost of calling +44 870 from outside the UK is significantly more than the cost of calling a UK geographical number (e.g. +44 20 for London) plus the cost of an 0870 call within the UK. The increased charge is levied by the UK partner onto the non-UK operator and passed directly to the caller.
With many pre-paid phonecards calls to +44 870 are blocked. [18] Either the UK partner does not connect the inbound call or the phonecard provider does not accept the charge levied by the UK operator.
