In the UK, there are numbers that begin with 0870 where you pay a set rate per min if you call from a landline, regardless with where you are.  However, if you dial an 0870 number from a mobile it typically costs a lot more – not only do 0870 numbers not come out of call allowances, but they can cost x3 more than normal calls.

Thanks to the efforts of Simon Maddox and his free 0870 app, iPhone and Android users can now save money on their 0870 calls.  How much?  Well Simon estimates that his app has saved users over $400k in under a month.

Hows does 0870 do it? Well what this cool app does is try to find an alternative number for the company you are trying to call, that will cost less and will probably come out of your call allowance.  If it finds an alternative number then the 0870 app dials that number instead!  Not surprisingly the app took over 400 days to be approved by Apple, although Apple are alleged to have accused O2 and BT of blocking app.
