Ofcom has decided not to close the 070 range of Personal Numbers. These are numbers that let consumers redirect calls to other UK fixed-line or mobile numbers. In 2006 it said it planned to close the 070 range and move customers to a new 06 range due to complaints and 'scams' using 070 numbers. However, it now says complaints have fallen and moving the number range wouldn't necessarily reduce scamming activity. [Consultation document]
