0800 Numbers

0800 numbers are classed as freephone numbers. The UK also has 2 other number ranges that are classed as freephone, these are 0500 numbers and 0808 numbers. 0800 numbers are well recognised as free to call as they are an established number range; in fact they are one of the most popular number ranges in the UK.

In addition, these numbers are no longer limited to where you can point them to. You can route them anywhere including landlines, mobiles and international locations. An 0800 number will encourage callers to phone you and place orders – it’s a fact!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Will My 0800 Numbers Take to Go Live?

Providing your payment has cleared it will only take minutes to get your number in service.


Can a 0800 Number Be Called From Abroad?

Most countries will route the call to your number but it is not guaranteed. There is no official list of countries that will route calls back to a UK number. If you are looking to advertise a phone number abroad please call us on 08448 222 666 and we will be able to advise you of your best option.


Why Are Gold Numbers More Expensive?

Gold numbers are running out fast. It is similar to the DVLA and car registrations. Companies need memorable contact numbers to either allow them to stand out from their competition or to place into radio and TV adverts. The memorable number allows the consumer to remember the number during a very short advert. As these become rarer, prices increase.


Can I Still Use My Landline That the Number Is Pointed to?

Yes. The number we provide you will just sit on top of your existing service. People will still be able to call your landline or mobile and your new number will not interfere with any existing service that you have.


When I Call Out Will People See the Number As My Phone Number?

No but you can speak to your existing phone line provider about adding a service called CLIP (Calling Line Identity Presentation) to your existing landline. This will allow you to call out and present your 0800 number as your phone number.


What Payment Methods Do You Accept?

We can take most credit cards (including American Express), PayPal, Direct Debit, BACS and Cheque. Most of our 0800 customers pay us by Direct Debit for ease of managing their account.


Can I Change Where the Number Is Pointing to Myself?

  • They may have a Radio advert and want the number to sound good so that their potential customers remember it and phone in.
  • They may wish to advertise their memorable number on their website, vans and stationery so that it gets massive coverage.
  • Or they just want to make their company look as professional as possible – a Gold number will deliver some serious status.

More Information

More Information about Memorable Numbers

Memorable 0800 numbers are becoming very hard to find. They are allocated out to companies like us by Ofcom (this is the telecommunications governing body) who then sell the numbers on to their customers. The UK is fast running out of memorable numbers and costs for them are spiralling. Some larger organisations are purchasing and keeping their own stock to ensure that they have future capability. Don’t panic – Ofcom have released a new number range which are 0808 numbers. These are exactly the same, but they are less recognised by the general public.


Where you can route 0800 numbers to

We can route these numbers to UK landlines, UK mobiles, VOIP numbers, Voicemail Boxes, International landlines and International Mobiles. If you are looking to route to an international location it can be done but please call us so that we can explain the costs to you in full.
