Petition UK Phone numbers with (+44) 070XXXXX

More details

This petition calls for the banning of redirect numbers such as (+44) 070XXXXX.

These numbers are called "redirects". That means simply that any calls made to that number can be redirected to any telephone in any country in the world.

The 070 number and other re-direct numbers are the used by people looking to conceal their actual phone numbers, such as criminal gangs and scammers in the UK and globally.
