Do you have an alternative number for Parentline?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

A reader asked recently for the geographical alternative for Parentline who’s main contact number is 1890 927 277. Their website is actually pretty clear, and provides the 01 alternative number on the front page as well.

Parentline

  • 1890 927 277 – Call 01 8733500

Google Adwords Support geographical alternative

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Thanks to the SayNoTo1890.com reader who sent in these details for Google Adwords support.

The Google AdWords support number for the UK is 0845 3580038 which is answered in Dublin. The geographical (answers the same as the 0845) is 01 436 1099.

Google themselves don’t seem to list their own support numbers although there’s lots of forums where people are talking about it.

I believe that the number for Ireland is 1890 943980, so you might like to list this on your website.

Geographical Alternative for Sky TV

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

There have been numerous requests here for an alternative number for Sky TV – their number is 0818 719 852. A SayNoTo1890.com reader suggested the following:

I got this number – 00 44 1506831609  – from  SAYNOTO0870.COM  and phoned it.

Answered promptly by computer and asked to enter my phone number plus area code so call could be dealt with correct department.

No need to include 00 prefix.  I entered  353 41 XXXXXXX. Transferred immediately to an operator and all business was dealt with. This is current information as I made calls on Saturday 13th June.

As the reader pointed out, this is still a UK number, but for users of SKYPE and other VOIP service as well as anyone who has free Irish and UK landline numbers as part of their phone contract (such as with UTV for example), people will be able to contact this number for a lot less than the 0818 phone costs.

This story in Wednesdays Irish Independent, Child safety fears spark soft-drink recall , provides contact details for the Food Safety Authority of Ireland at the end:

The geographical alternative for this 1890 number is 01 817 1300 as per their website and our SayNoTo1890.com A-Z page .

Geographical alternative for itsforwomen.ie and 25plus.ie

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Earlier in the week I published a request from a reader for the geographical alternative for the itsforwomen.ie insurance website, and referred to 25plus.ie and MCL Insurance as being related companies.

Many thanks to the reader who posted the following comment:

Phone number for itsforwomen.com; 25plus.ie and MCL Insurance is a NI number. 0044 28 7055 8182

And to the reader who posted the follow up comment:

Maybe you don’t realise that here in the south we can phone any NI number by replacing the 028 with 048 and it counts as an Irish landline call.

So there you have it, we now have geographical alternatives for the numbers requeste as follows:

itsforwomen.ie

  • 1890 886 227 – Call 048 28 7055 8182

25plus.ie

  • 1890 927 334 – Call 048 28 7055 8182

Thanks to everyone for helping out.
