This makes 0800 numbers one of the most popular number ranges in the UK. Do you have a business that needs to look bigger? Do you want to give your customers a free phone number to encourage sales calls? Well this is exactly what other companies use them for so let us do the same for you.

Why are Gold 0800 numbers more expensive?

Gold 0800 numbers are running out fast. It is similar to the DVLA and car registrations. Companies need memorable 0800 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 numbers are running out the price starts to climb.

Can I still use my landline that the 0800 number is pointed to?

Yes. The 0800 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 the 0800 number will not interfere with any existing service that you have.

When I call out will people see the 0800 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

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.
