Madam,

It would appear more and more small businesses are giving out a mobile number as their point of contact, believing this is beneficial. I can assure them it is not.

With a mobile number, you cannot tell whether the firm is based one mile from you or 100 miles away.

I am fed up with wasting my time and money contacting businesses who don’t operate in my area.

With a landline, one can tell from the area code if a company is local or not.

Yours etc, R McDermott, Aberporth.
