0845 Numbers

robertbuchanan — Mon, 04 May 2009 15:54:55 GMT

Wondering if anyone can help me?

I have been looking into getting either a 0845 number or a 0800 number for my home business. There seem to be a lot of companies supplying them, but they all differ in price. I don’t want anything overly complicated service wise. All i need is a welcome message and a couple of options.

I’m not sure whether to go for a freephone number? Do you think people are bothered about paying for a phone call?

Hi Paul,

The problem with a lot of companies you find on the internet is that they are only reseller companies. As they are third party suppliers they make their money through charging a monthly fee for additional services like the ones you mentioned.

There are some companies that supply these services with no monthly fee or subscription charge.

Here’s a few:

www.08direct.co.uk – Free 0845 numbers available

If you want a low cost 0800 number try:

www.0800numbershop.co.uk – they have some really competitive call packages for small businesses.

Hope this is helpful.

Not sure where you got Paul from, but thanks for the fast reply! I have just registered a 0845 number for free on the www.08direct.co.uk site.

Thanks very much!
