Which makes sense from a billing point of view. It leaves the

of these numbers than to connect to any other number?

Because they get billed more by TfL's telco.

However, them charging 20p+ a minute instead of just 5p a minute is
"because we can".

The word "urgent" is the moral of the story "The boy who cried wolf". As
a general rule I don't believe it until a manager comes to me almost in
tears. I like to catch them in a cup and drink them later.
