0844 numbers are a fairly new number range that most companies are migrating to
from 0870 numbers. 0844 numbers can be known as higher local rate numbers and can
cost the caller anything up to 5p per minute to call. Because the cost to call an
0844 number is slightly higher than a normal landline it means that we are able
to pay you for every call received (providing that the 0844 number is pointed to
a landline and not a mobile phone). 0844 numbers are now the most popular range
of numbers selling in the UK and our pricing is one of the most competitive in the
market starting at just £5 to set up and no other annual rentals.
0844 Numbers available in three categories:
0844 Number cost for our bronze numbers (standard):
| One off set up fee of £5 |
| Monthly rental is Free of charge |
| We pay you 1.5p per minute for every call you receive if your 0844 number is pointed to a UK landline |
| Route your 0844 number to a mobile phone and pay just 11p to receive the call |
| As there is no contract you can cancel your 0844 number at any time |

3Gold 0844 numbers – why is the price higher?
Memorable 0844 numbers are like gold dust. It is similar to the DVLA and car registrations. Companies need memorable 0844 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.
4You are pointing your 0844 number to my landline. Can people still call me on my landline number?
Yes. The 0844 number will sit on top of your existing phone number. People will still be able to call your landline or mobile and the 0844 number will not interfere with any existing service that you have.
5When I call out will people see the 0844 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 0844 number as your phone number.
