So all those brand new vinyl posters that have appeared at station car parks over the past week will all have to be replaced yet again??  |

Yes, they have confirmed it is being changed, but could take up to 4 weeks to get it done (& notices changed too, I guess)
They have access to APCOA▸ Connect's customers, so I guess they'll tell everyone by email contact or by text.

The 0845 number is not permanent , Or perhaps the lack of it might be impermanent! Why would they have introduced it if not to make more money? Anyway how else are they are going to pay for all the extra posters they had to print. Out of interest does anyone know why the 0845 numberis being replaced? |

I suppose I might mean who? It does seem strange that the intention to use the 0845 number from the off was clear? Who has asked for it to be changed? FGW▸ , Apcoa? It couldn't possibly be as a result of customer opinion could it? |

FGW▸ .
I suspect APCOA▸ failed to inform them that the number had become non-geographical.

My lunchtime stroll today took me past EXD» and through the 1st overflow car park (adjacent to Platform 2). All the vehicles had 'Important Notice - Pay By Phone Has Changed' leaflets under the wipers. I assume the other two car parks had been given the same treatment.

Kind of makes you wonder how rigorous their "tender process" was then - doesn't it?! |

Are you sure? They are still advertised for sale as such, as are 0870 and 0871 numbers.

BT Business says that 0845 and 0870 are no longer revenue sharing. However it is possible that APCOA▸ get their telephone services from a different provider and have bought an 0845 number that has 'grandfather rights' to allow revenue sharing.

re 0845 numbers - BT decided over a year ago to include 0845 and 0345 numbers as free within their telephone call packages as a marketing incentive. However many other cheaper operators still do not include 0845 numbers within in their packages e.g. Vodafone landline, it can still cost many users of the APCOA▸ phone service a packet. However what has been most noticeable is that since BT made the change, many organisations have changed from using 0845 numbers to 0844 numbers so that they can still ring up their share of the inflated call costs, e.g. Santander banking group now use 0844 instead of 0845 for telephone banking access.
