PayPal 0870 number (Read 99,505 times)

irrelevant Senior Member Offline Posts: 409	Re: PAYPAL states FREEPHONE 08707 307 191 !!! Reply #45 - Jan 30^th, 2008 at 7:48am That's their Dublin contact number. 15p/min weekday daytimes on BT option 1. (10p/min elsewhen.) It's obviously somewhat cheaper on most alternate providers (1p/min on 1899) but still not exactly 'freephone'.

Oh, I shouldn't worry - I've already notified them that they are falsely advertising the 0845 Paypal Mobile number as "toll free", and they have promptly ignored my email. You can try contacting them but I suspect they'll just ignore you too.

The thing is, in the States, all these numbers would be toll free, which is probably why whoever wrote that page is getting confused. It's only in the UK that we have this culture of rip-off numbers. It must be an alien concept to the Americans.

PayPal clearly has UK and Irish-based operations, so they should know that these numbers aren't toll free (or could notify the person updating the UK pages to inform them of this if they happen to be based in the US). The fact that they do not respond to emails from customers (or continue to ignore them) just shows how much they care about this issue...

I don't mind helping you with your request as long as you read the instructions!

I can absolutely assure you it is. Many friends have told me there would be a second Revolutionary war if the telcos tried it............. Grin

However, it does look like they use a normal number for their Service Center - 1-402-935-2050 (a U.S. telephone number)

(As I am currently outside the US, that might be a number in recognition of my non-US IP address. It's unusual for US organisations to NOT use 1-800 numbers)
