Memorable 0871 numbers are the best number if you need to earn the most rebates without using a premium rate number. It is advisable that if you buy an 0871 number you should notify your customers of the cost to call the number. For example if you advertised an 0871 number on your website you should have a notification somewhere that “the cost to call an 0871 number is 10p from BT landlines, mobiles and other networks may vary”. Although it is not necessary to apply this message at the moment we believe that the UK regulator for premium rate (Phone Pay plus) will start to apply heavier regulation on this number range. If you prepare for this now you will not have to make any small changes in the future. We are seeing some customers changing their 0870 number to 0871 numbers due to the removal of the 0870 rebate in early 2009. If you would like some advice on this change or would like to talk to us about an 0871 number please feel free to call us.
