Move 0800 Number To A New Provider

Keep Your Existing 0800 Number And Improve Your Service

Changing telecoms supplier does not mean losing your existing 0800 number.

If your current provider is charging too much, offering poor support, restricting features or locking you into an unsuitable contract, it is often possible to move your 0800 number to a new provider whilst keeping exactly the same number your customers already know.

08UK specialises in 0800 number porting and supplier transfers. We help businesses move existing freephone numbers onto resilient cloud platforms with minimal disruption and complete continuity for callers.

Why Businesses Move Their 0800 Numbers

Many organisations originally purchased their 0800 number years ago and have simply remained with the same supplier.

Common reasons for switching include:

• High monthly charges
• Expensive inbound call rates
• Poor customer support
• Limited call reporting
• Outdated call routing features
• Long contract commitments
• Lack of cloud flexibility
• Difficulty making routing changes
• Business mergers or acquisitions

Moving your 0800 number can often reduce costs whilst improving functionality and service levels.

Keep The Number Your Customers Already Use

Your 0800 number is part of your brand.

Changing it can mean updating:

• Website pages
• Google Business Profiles
• Vehicle graphics
• Marketing literature
• Email signatures
• Social media accounts
• Customer records

Number porting allows you to keep your established 0800 number whilst benefiting from a new supplier and improved service.

Move From Major UK Providers

We regularly assist businesses wishing to move 0800 numbers from existing suppliers.

Whether your service is currently hosted on a major carrier platform, reseller network or cloud telephony provider, our team can advise on the porting process and expected timescales.

Every port is managed individually to help ensure continuity throughout the transfer.
