What are the different types of 08xx numbers?
0800/0808
These are freephone numbers, with no cost to the caller. You simply pay a fixed price per minute for each call you receive. As it’s free for the caller, it’s very effective at encouraging customers to respond to your advertising.
0845
This represents a local rate number, which costs the caller the same as a local rate phone call; typically 3p – 4p a minute. Knowing they’ll only pay the local rate encourages callers to phone you, whether it’s for information, service or sales.
0870
This is a national rate number, which costs the caller the same as a national rate phone call; typically 7p – 8p a minute, giving you the ability to generate income. As the owner of the 0870 number you will receive a share of the money paid by the caller of your number.
0871
This is also a national rate number, which can be charged at up to 10p a minute, giving you the ability to generate more income. In the same way as 0870 numbers you will receive a rebate for every call you receive. In the case of 0871 the cost to the dialling party is slightly higher, meaning the revenue share paid to you is also increased. You can have any number of Non Geographic Numbers on one phone line – useful, for example if you’ve run the same advertisement in different publications with different Non Geographic Numbers, and want to measure the response per publication.
