These fall into the categories described below. All work in essentially the same manner. They act as a divert to your existing BT or Cable land line and work in conjunction with your existing number. Depending on the prefix (0800, 0845, 0870 etc…) the call can be paid by the person receiving the call or the person making the call. Also in the event of the unthinkable happening, all Non-Geo numbers number can simply be diverted to another line – perfect for disaster recovery purposes.
Freephone (0800, 0808)
- A freephone number is a great way to tell your customer that they come first.
- 0800 numbers are a great marketing tool, encouraging people to call you as they know there is no cost for their enquiry.
Various studies have shown that 0800 (and even 0845) numbers make a significant difference to the level of response from advertisements.
Until recently, this service has been expensive with service providers charging huge set-up costs and monthly line rental as well as large per minute call charges. We, however, are different, contact us for prices and more info.
Lo-Call Rate (0845)
- 0845 numbers give you the flexibility of a Freephone number without the costs associated.
- 0845 numbers only cost the caller the price of a local BT call – from anywhere in the UK, but don’t cost you anything at all.
Maybe you want an 0845 number to give your company a more local feel, or maybe just to simplify matters if you are about to move offices.

National Rate (0870)
- 0870 Numbers cost the caller the price of a standard BT National rate call from anywhere in the country.
