What’s the big deal about 08x numbers?
The 08x numbers are non geographic, lending your business a more professional image and a national presence. You can earn rebates each month on 0871, 0845 and 0844 numbers or by using Freephone numbers you can increase your calls by upto 70% at a charge of 3 pence per minute.
• National rate numbers give the image of a national company to the customer and provide you with a great rebate each month.
• Local Rate numbers are easy on your customers pocket but still provide the benefit of a national company however they offer little or no rebate.
• Freephone numbers can increase calls by upto 70% and are commonly used for sales lines and promotions, unlike other 08 numbers you actually pay 3ppm for each call.
