What number is right for you?
-
01What’s the difference between 0800, 03, 01/02, and International numbers?
-
• 0800 numbers are free for callers and ideal for businesses that want to encourage more inbound calls.
• 03 numbers give a national presence and cost the same as a local call, making them a great non-geographic alternative to 0800.
• 01/02 numbers are traditional geographic numbers that build local trust and show a regional presence.
• International numbers allow overseas customers to call your business for from their country.
-
02Which number type is best for maximising customer calls?
-
0800 numbers tend to generate the most calls, as they’re free for customers to dial. If cost isn’t a concern, this is the best choice for inbound lead generation.
-
03I want to appear like a national business, not just local. Which number should I choose?
-
03 numbers or 0800 numbers work best, as they don’t tie you to a specific location.
-
04I want customers to know we’re local. What number should I use?
-
A geographic 01/02 number is for you, as it reassures customers they’re dealing with a local business.
-
05Do 0800 and 03 numbers work from mobile phones?
-
Yes! Both 0800 and 03 numbers work on mobiles. However, 0800 numbers are free to call, while 03 numbers are charged at standard mobile rates.
-
06Can I forward calls from my new number to my mobile or landline?
-
Yes! All our numbers can be routed to any UK landline or mobile - so you’re always reachable.
-
07Will I know which number a customer has dialled before I answer?
-
Yes, we provide call whispering, along with many other call handling features, so you’ll hear a short message before connecting, letting you know which number was dialled.
-
08I still don’t know which number is right for me. Can you help?
-
Absolutely! Contact our team, and we’ll match you with the best number for your business needs.
