0845 Numbers

Professional 0845 Business Numbers from 08UK

0845 numbers have been used by UK businesses for many years and continue to provide a reliable inbound telephone solution for organisations that require non-geographic business numbers.

Whilst the telecom market has changed significantly over recent years, many businesses, membership organisations and service providers still operate successful 0845 numbers as part of their customer communications.

Whether you're looking for a new 0845 number, already own one, or are considering moving to another numbering range, our experienced team can provide straightforward advice based upon your business requirements.

Are 0845 Numbers Still Available?

Yes.

0845 numbers continue to be available and remain suitable for certain organisations and applications.

However, it's important to understand how call charges work before deciding whether an 0845 number is the right choice for your business.

Unlike 0800 numbers, calls to 0845 numbers are not free for callers.

Instead, callers pay an Access Charge set by their telephone provider together with a Service Charge associated with the 0845 number.

Our team will happily explain exactly how these charges apply to your own number.

Do You Already Own an 0845 Number?

If your business already uses an 0845 number, we can quickly review your current service and explain:

  • How much callers are paying.
  • The Service Charge applied to your number.
  • Whether your current supplier offers competitive rates.
  • Alternative numbering options available.
  • How to improve your existing service.

Many organisations continue using 0845 numbers simply because they've had them for many years.

An independent review may highlight better options depending upon your business objectives.

Thinking About Changing Number Type?

Every organisation is different.

Some businesses continue benefiting from their existing 0845 number, whilst others may decide another numbering range better suits today's market.

Depending on your objectives, we can help you move to:

  • 0345 Numbers
  • 0333 Business Numbers
  • 0330 Business Numbers
  • 0800 Freephone Numbers
  • Virtual 01 or 02 Geographic Numbers

We'll explain the advantages of each option so you can make an informed decision.

Already Have an 0845 Number?

You don't necessarily need to change it.

If you're happy with your existing number but unhappy with your current supplier, we can usually port your 0845 number onto our platform whilst allowing you to keep exactly the same telephone number.

You'll benefit from modern cloud call handling, flexible routing options and experienced UK support without asking your customers to learn a new number.
