Freephone
The service numbers starting with the area code 0800/0808 are for the recipient’s account. It therefore costs the caller nothing to call this number. This Freephone phone number is not tied to a particular city or region. Because it’s free for the caller, customers like to pick up the phone to call you. A Freephone number can be used perfectly for organizations where something is sold on the basis of the call. Think, for example, of requests for quotations, donations or reservations. The services allowed for this number are business services and customer service. The gambling, dialer and entertainment services are banned in the UK and are therefore not allowed to use this number.
Shared Cost
If you opt for an 871 number, the costs are divided between the caller and the recipient. The recipient pays part and the caller pays part. Of the paid numbers, this is the cheapest option. It is reasonably cheap, because the costs are shared. The companies or organizations that often use this are government agencies. The allowed services for this number are business services and customer services. The gambling, dialer, entertainment and payments services are banned in the UK and so cannot use this number.
Premium Rate
It’s different with premium rate numbers. The caller has to pay for the telephone call. The costs charged may vary. The United Kingdom has different types of premium rate numbers:
- 098 (entertainment)
- 090
- 0911
- 0982 (non-entertainment)
Premium Rate numbers are usually used for calls that do not lead to sales. For example, you can think of support services or information numbers. The Premium Rate number gives you a professional look. Above all, this number shows that you are not tied to a region, but operate on a national level. There are two variants, namely costs per minute and costs per call. The costs range from €0.057 to €1.74 per minute and €0.11 to €1.74 per call
Local numbers
With a geographic number you tie your brand to a specific city or region. For example, it is possible to take a telephone number in the area code area of, for example, London, Liverpool or Manchester. This ensures that the local population has more confidence and thus clearly shows which market you want to reach. This option is intended for companies that want to indicate that they will be physically present in the country. But it is also very useful for shops that have several visiting addresses.
National numbers
Using a national number gives your company more possibilities on a national scale. The national number for the United Kingdom begins with the area code 845 . It doesn’t matter what your primary location is, because the national numbers ensure that you have a national identity. Your customers will easily find out where you are located by looking at your contact number. This ensures a better reputation and more reliability for your company.
