0870 - an iPhone app that can actually save you money

The 0870 app for UK users makes it cheaper for iPhone users to dial premium numbers such 0870, 0845 and 0800. TechDigest.tv reports.

How it works is that the app searches a database for the 08 number you are calling and then directs the call to an alternative landline number if it can find one.

The app has been available to Android users since January with company developer Simon Maddox stating that he believes that the app's users have saved £84,000.

Now it has become available to iPhone users though its arrival is not without controversy, As Mike Butcher points out at TechCrunch Europe it has taken Apple an astonishing 429 days to approve the app.
