Why Choose Use 0800
Many companies, specifically smaller, much less established organisations, might wonder if buying a Freephone 0800 range would be a useful investment. While there can be some instances where having an 0800 number range isn’t beneficial, there are numerous reasons why Freephone 0800 numbers are significantly better for business than traditional landline numbers.
In July 2015 Ofcom introduced a progression of changes to the way calls to numerous 08 numbers were charged. This included clearer call costs to 084 and 087 numbers however by a wide margin the greatest change for the inbound telecoms industry was the way that 0800 numbers became free to call from all phones.
