Best answers:

• i think you should just dial 0808 9933031
  this is a freephone number so you should not be charged for it, it will not appear on any bill.
  why are you adding 1471?
  this is the number to see whos called last.
• 1470 is the CLI release key for when you're ex-directory.
  you should be able to just use the 0808 without the 1470
• 1470 means that the ISP always sees the telephone number you are dialing from.
  Many ISP's insist that they know the telephone number/CLI you are dialing from - otherwise they won't let you connect (as they only let you connect from your registered number as a "security measure&quot or won't give you full access (i.e. you can't send be able to send email if they don't know your telephone in case you send spam)
  Most people don't need to dial it - but some people have asked their telco to withhold their number from people they call as the default setting... (i.e. they have effectly asked their telco to put 141 before each call)
  1470 overrides this setting (on a per call basis) so the ISP always knows who it is - if you know you don't withold CLI you can delete the 1470 part or just leave it - it makes no difference - ISP's just include it in their "default" settings for those other customers who normally withold CLI
  The actual number is 0808 and you will be charged that (freephone) regardless of whether you include it or not.
  1471 tells you who called last.. (unless they have withheld the number!)
