Can 0800 Numbers Be Called from Abroad?
Calling 0800 numbers from abroad (outside the UK) is possible, but not guaranteed from all countries. These calls will incur charges such that these calls would no longer be “freephone” calls. You’ll be charged international rates which will vary, depending on where you’re calling from. Most UK businesses will indicate on their websites that calls to their 0800 number are free when calling from within the UK but that charges will apply when calling the 0800 number from overseas. Please note that when calling 0800 numbers from abroad (outside the UK), you need to dial 00 44 800 XXX XXXX, where 44 is the UK country dialling code and the leading 0 is omitted from the 0800 number.
How Do 0800 Numbers Work?
0800 numbers are free to phone for the caller and since 2015 have been free to call from both landlines and mobiles. So they are essentially paid for by businesses and organisations to incentivise people to call a number, by making it free. For businesses, 0800 numbers are rented on a monthly basis, with calls being paid for (by the business). This per minute call charge differs according to factors like, where the caller is, and whether they have called from mobile or landline.
Where to Buy 0800 Numbers?
