Thank goodness for that. Now perhaps you'll stop tilting at windmills and accept what has been perfectly obvious to everyone else from the start.
When there are a whole range of suppliers who will let you make normal phonecalls to landlines for 0p, 1p or 2p per minute, paying 7p pre minute, whether to BT or to an 0870 provider means that you are paying a whopping great premium.

Please check your facts. BT mandatorally changed everyone on a standard package to together one some time ago.
If you visit the BT website and check the cost of a 5 min phone call to a notional number it is now 15p.
For an 0870 number you have to pay a significant premium.
That's why it's a premium rate number
