Hi @Thesaint1967
All of the calls via 150 or 0345 454 1111 go through the same IVR and the first available agent answers the call irrespective of where they are located.
The majority, if not all of the retentions team are UK based, so perhaps you spoke to offshore and where not transferred directly to retentions (options 1,1,4 and 4 if calling 150 from your VM landline)
I don't know if the number on the price rise web page(info below) puts you into a direct queue to retentions (thinking of leaving us) but you can try it instead of 150.
