0800 Numbers

If your company or organisation is interested in setting up a phone line that your customers can call for free then you'll be pleased to find out that there are number of businesses, many of which operate over the internet, that will be able to provide you with the phone numbers and line rental that you require to set up some 0800 numbers. Although 0800 numbers can be called free of charge from any UK landline they are not free for the recipient of the call, who must pay for any calls they receive. Because of these 0800 numbers can sometimes be extremely expensive to operate, particularly if they will receive a very high number of calls. Thankfully many of the companies that operate 0800 numbers and sell them to businesses and organisations will have a variety of special payment plans on offer. For example, one of the most popular payment schemes for 0800 numbers involves the owner of the line paying a monthly fee, which will allow them to receive a certain number of calls, measured by their duration. Should the calls receive exceed this limit then client will be billed for the extra calls.

Because of the cost associated with running 0800 numbers some charities, who often rely on free phone lines for their services, will have difficult in paying for the lines. Thankfully most of the firms that sell 0800 numbers and provide line rental will offer discounted rates for charitable organisations.
