Should be able to charge companies for wasting our time on the phone with chat bots and retention reps.
A guy in the UK had his number converted to one that charges the caller by the minute.
I think he only made like 300 GBP over a couple years, but it's a pretty good way to at least get a little back (Lee Beaumont).
Is there something that differentiates this number from others?
I think it started 0871 (similar to a 1-900 number in the US), beyond that not too much (well and costing 10p per minute to call). He was completely upfront when submitting it to places that might call, stating that it was a toll number, but most of the companies that sell cold calling lists strip all the extra information out and just include the name/number/address.
