0800 Freephone Numbers

Business Benefits

Seen as a sign that your company wants the business and is willing to remove the hassle and cost of contact 0800 freephone numbers are a devastating marketing tool with 80% of consumers more likely to call a freephone number, giving you more opportunity to sell to them.

Yours for life – take your 0800 freephone number with you when relocating thus ensuring no loss of business and that you stay in control of your clients. Highly memorable numbers are available making advertising more effective and substantially increasing your sales.

0800 numbers are now widely recognised in the UK as FREE to call and are increasingly used by companies wishing to maximise their response rates to advertising and promotional activity by keying in to this awareness and reducing the barriers to response from potential customers.

In a study accomplished by Bellcore, paper ads that were almost identical were displayed and monitored. One group had an freephone number and the others didn't. The freephone number ads received six times the number of calls as did the regular number listings. It also seems that this will hold true regardless of the socioeconomic level of the caller.

If you are currently with BT you will be paying in the region of £360 per year for the 0800 number plus around 8.5 pence per minute. Visology can either arrange for a new 0800 number or can re-port your number for a one off fee of £200 and a call charge of 5 pence per minute. With this you will either pay the call charges based on the 5 pence per minute or £10 per month minimum charge. It can therefore be seen that once a number has either been re-ported or a new number assigned that with Visology you will be paying a one third of what BT charge.
