Interesting observations on 1890/1850/1800 usage

I’m obviously catching up on old links that I’d found related to this site - this one from Michele Neylon in September last year. His comments as follows show an interesting dilemma for businesses thinking of getting 1850/1890 or 1800 numbers:

We are based outside Dublin, so for a lot of people there still is the mental block with ringing an 059 number instead of an 01 or a region free 1850 / 1890

I know from my perspective that I don’t really mind where a business is based, and given a choice, since I always use a mobile phone, I’d much rather the 059 compared to the 1850/1890 number.

On the flip side, I’ll mostly stay away from a business who only provide a mobile number as the contact number for the businesses. It may be a mental block as above, but if I’m going to be dealing with someone for business, I’d at least like to know they have somewhere I can call round to if I had to.
