UK numbers for your business
There are many codes and types, but we are here to make things simple for you. At Planet Telecom, choosing the perfect number for your business seems like a piece of cake, with a guide to tell you how to pick and the benefits of every sort.
What are UK Numbers?
The first thing to be clarified is: what is a UK number? Every country has its organization that administers telephone numbers (Ofcom does this in the UK), and all these numbers have a specific set. For example, in the UK’s case, the international dialing code is +44. Any number starting with the 0044 or +44 is based here.
Similarly, there are many nationwide codes within the UK, such as 03 numbers. Each type of number is important because it may control how accessible your business is and can have an effect on customers. It is necessary to have the right contact number to create a sort of unity within the business and create an air of professionalism.
Classification of UK Numbers
There are various numbers, each suited for different purposes, from freephone numbers for ads to those for more high-level businesses. Below is a simple classification guide for which to help make your decision easier.
0300 Numbers
These are reserved only for charitable foundations and government bodies, so this should be your choice if you belong to either of these. Especially if you are starting a charity, people must be able to recognize it at first glance to increase those who are aware of your cause.
0345 and 0333 Numbers
These numbers are probably the most common choice that many businesses may want to consider adopting. It is a simple, consumer-friendly option and offers a low-budget option to call.
There is no extra cost to receive calls, and if you are in any general field, you should get one of these numbers. They enforce the image of a legitimate national establishment. Calls to 03 numbers are included in the Planet Telecom monthly plan.
0800 Freephone Numbers
For those running adverts, this is for your business. These numbers are called Freephone because they are free to call and have been proven to increase inquiries by 185%, with 90% of people aware that it is free to call a number. The number is free to call from all mobiles and landlines, and the bundle even has 500 free minutes for you.
0843 and 0844 Numbers
With these, you will be generating revenue each time you receive a call from a client. Of course, you have to state the charge, divided into two parts, with the number anywhere you print it.
0845 Numbers
Another good choice for your business, 0845 numbers have a competitive price of just 5p per minute for your customers, while incoming calls are free for you. You can choose your number and make sure it is an easy one to make sure customers remember it.
