My solution to a particularly persistent place a few years ago was my BT Oscillator 87J. Any other telecom engineers reading this will understand.....

Phone Pay Plus (the supposed regulator of premium-rate and other "special" rate calls) was poised to start an investigation of DQ services earlier in the year:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22659453

What you might like to note for future reference is that while BT heavily promotes its 118500 service, it keeps pretty quiet (at least as far as advertising to residential customers is concerned) about its alternate service on 118707.

118500 is currently over £2 per minute, plus an initial connection charge. 118707 is a flat 75p. per call, regardless of duration. The only restrictions (if you want to consider them as such) is that you're limited to getting one number per call and it doesn't offer the extra facilitites such as onward completion of the call. But even if you need two numbers, calling 118707 twice will be cheaper than using 118500 (or many of the other non-BT services), and you never want to use the onward completion option from any of the providers anyway, since you'll pay through the nose for it (many people assume that after getting the number the rest of the call will then be at their normal call rate - that's not so).

118707 is pretty much where the old BT 192 service went after the EU bureaucrats foisted the whole 118xxx debacle upon us (for comparison, calling 192 in 1998 cost 35p.).
