03 Numbers

03 numbers are a new ‘uk-wide’ number range on the market with calls to this number charged at the same rate as geographic (landlines starting with 01 or 02) calls. The numbers offer a wide range of benefits compared to landlines such as controllability, call statistics, advanced call plans and disaster recovery solutions which have now become a business necessity.

If you are a public body and you want to restore customer confidence in the cost of the call or if you are looking for a memorable number so the public can call you with ease, these numbers are for you!

Did you ever want an 0800 number like your competitors but you were unable to cover the cost of your customers calls? You will not have this issue with the brand new 0300 range. This will prove extremely popular with charities as they will no longer have to cover the cost of the calls being made to them and the charity funds can be used elsewhere. The numbers are ideal if you want a national presence for your local business.

How do I get one of these great numbers you are asking?
