Welcome to 08UK, we have over 20 Years of Inbound Expertise
0845 and 0870 with 0800 are in fact the oldest number ranges that have existed here in the UK pre-deregulation. 0845 was the local range, 0870 was the national range, 0800 free phone was actually free to call.
The huge growth of mobile use in recent years has led to total confusion, as rates on mobiles meant these ranges had no accuracy in their descriptions. 1st August 2009 Ofcom changed 0870 to address the inaccuracy.
0845 has not been subject to any changes, it appears it never will be. 0845 does nothing for your business. 0800 will be free from mobiles too, says Ofcom, watch the popularity of 0800 boom when it does.
