All the numbers I have listed are shown on the new bills "popping" through letter boxes now!

Well that would make sense as they have NOT bothered to update the Contact Us page with the revised numbers. I will however note on my parents SE Water bill the new number.

18 months to update numbers seems a VERY long time!

I wondered if the suggestion of a lengthy transition might explain why the contact web page has not yet been updated. (I spotted this when searching to see how the cost of calling the new numbers was being described - there have been some real howlers!)

If all customers receive the same documents with the new numbers, then obviously the process has been completed earlier than announced.

Noting that there are still two distinct service operations following the merger with Mid Kent, one wonders if these are to be combined under a new number. It could be that the transfer over to a new single contact centre will be progressive.

Pont noted SCV.  Smiley

Regarding the "incorrect" statements for 03 numbers, I recently contacted an ISP who stated 0345 numbers were charged at "Local Rates" - The colleague who e-mailed me back was happy to be informed of Ofcom's statement regarding these numbers as being "standard geographic charges" which is a better way of advising it. He informs me they will update the site.
