0800 number FAQs
What is a Freephone 0800 number ?
A Freephone 0800 number is a telephone number that allows the person calling to ring without incurring any call charges. Currently this is only guaranteed when calling from a UK landline telephone. Calling from a mobile phone will incur call charges from most mobile phone providers currently excluding BT Mobile and Giffgaff networks. Hopefully this situation will change once new regulations are released by Ofcom the UK government regulator in late 2012.
What do 0800 numbers cost ?
NumberGroup supply 0800 numbers for 40 pence per month plus the call forwarding charges above.

Our system automatically forwards these calls to your required telephones, this could be a landline, mobile or SIP PBX or a combination of these. This process takes place within a millisecond, your phone rings and you answer it. Once your call has ended our system works out the exact cost of the call.

Do 0800 numbers work ?
Using a 0800 number in your advert will increase the amount of telephone enquiries you receive. This happends because as consumers become more and more price sensitive, the cost of making a regular call against making a free call wins everytime. Consumers will always look for the free number first, and if your not using a freephone 0800 number your competitors probably are.
