0800, 0844, 0845, 0870 & 0871 numbers
The 08 numbers are classic 'first contact' numbers, designed to attract new business, create a solidly professional impression, maximise advertising response, and give a 'national presence'. While at first glance 0800 and 0845 numbers may appear expensive to run (as you pay for at least part of the in-coming call costs) they encourage potential customers to make that call, and ensure that you don't spoil a good ad with a bad number. Look on an 08 number as part of your advertising costs, justified by the increased response an 08 number tends to generate.

0800 numbers (or UK Freephone/Toll-free numbers) are free for potential customers to call from UK land lines, and enjoy widespread public recognition as 'freephone numbers'. They give the public the impression that you are confident, professional, and keen to do business, and in competitive advertising can give a business the edge. In short, 0800's are classic professional marketing numbers. Use them for business acquisition, then ween customers onto less expensive numbers if necessary. |

0845 numbers (or UK Local Rate numbers) are also good marketing numbers, and it is widely recognised that calls to these numbers are charged at local rate. While not quite so keen as 0800 numbers, they are cheap to call, and like all 08 numbers, give the impression that you are a national player. We also offer 0844 numbers which, whilst having the perception of being at 'local' rate are charged at a fixed rate at all times. Ours cost callers, typically, 5p per minute. This slight increase in cost to callers, reduces (or eliminates) incoming call costs for you. |

0870 numbers (or UK National Rate numbers) are perfect for applications like customer support, where a national presence is important but you don't want to subsidise the cost of incoming calls. They are not ideal for competitive marketing situations, but create the impression of a nationwide efficient operation. |

0871 numbers (or UK National Euro numbers) are a relatively new range, usually costing 10p per minute to call. They are still recognisably 08 numbers (giving that national image) but are cheaper to buy than other 08 numbers and include free call forwarding to other land lines in the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada. As such, 0871 numbers are suitable for both personal and professional use and say 'call me wherever I am in the world, I want to talk to you'. |
