Advertising a 0800 Number instead of a Home Landline
Using your home phone number is not really feasible as a new business; kids means engaged, you don’t want just anyone calling your home and you want to keep you your private number private. A mobile number is expensive for a customer to call and a mobile can only take one call at a time. A mobile number just shouts “Sole Trader” at any potential customer. If your business can’t even afford to offer a 0800 phone number why should anybody trust you with business. So no home landlines are not a great solution, you could route some calls to your home but only as a stop-gap solution or as a back-up with an answer phone.

Free 0800 Number Divert Services (Switchboard Service Numbers)
New 0800 numbers can welcome the caller, IVR uploaded can then offer options to route callers to departments or people. Such switchboard services on 0800 numbers normally give you a ‘free to call’ number which then allows callers to find what they need. Some call divert number companies offer 0800 and virtual geographic numbers for a monthly rental charge, genuinely useful services are well worth considering. Our solutions offer voicemail, the ability to set open and closing times, call queuing or call recording features as required. Whilst the whole telecoms world here in the UK is moving to VOIP voice over the internet, this technology reflects voice channels and not inbound call handling – features or functionality.

0800 Reliability
Old fashioned copper telecom circuits are being switched to modern fibre based voip telecommunications. The copper wires have been around for over 100 years and are pretty reliable. VoIP is a relatively new technology and the industry is still new. So to be absolutely reliable, look for telco companies that provide business products not domestic, their business service will be to be more robust. Pick a supplier like 08UK that has been around for at least a 8 years so that it has no problems now. Does that carrier provide failover services, worst case happens, calls need to still be routed somewhere if only to a third-party call centre.

Don’t Buy From The Cheapest 0800 Supplier
Don’t trust ‘today only’ offers and do not chase the very cheapest 0800 telephone service. BT and Virgin and Vodafone & other major mobile companies have their own networks, no-one else. The rest have to interconnect with these carriers and with each other. Call rates between us are either regulated or are fairly standard so there is no real margin available for anyone to heavily discount in comparison to another companies prices. Cheap call companies are often not long term solutions, instead they are promotions to generate new sales.

As most telco’s have roughly the same per minute call costs the only way calls are cheaper is by cutting margins. Some companies find cheap paths for mobile or international calls but you may experience calls failing to connect, noisy calls, calls breaking up, dropped calls and no CLI presented to you on a call is quite common thing too people report to us of poor voip providers.

Expect to pay a small rental for inbound service features that help to add real added value to the inbound solution. Unless you are operating a high volume call centre, there’s really no point trying to save 5% by making compromises. 08UK makes no compromises on quality, we target PLC clients, whom would not entertain such risk. Service levels and whom exactly is offering what is set in definition too. Always look for a provider who offers Major Tier 1 connectivity, like 08UK, we only use Vodafone, BT, Virgin, Gamma & Citrus.

Safeguard Your 0800 Number – 0800 Number Portability
Your 0800 number will become important to you as part of your marketing brand. You must not be held to ransom on your 0800 number, you must be able to move it to any supplier of your choice. Get stuck with a number you can not move and it could prove to be much more expensive to operate and difficult to make changes to the inbound routing on the number.

So wherever you get your number from, 08UK of course, it makes sense that it is secured from a major tier that has full portability withy the other twenty major carriers. What happens if your 0800 supplier ceases to trade or gives you a poor service? Only BT is forced by Ofcom regulation to ensure the transfer numbers to other telephone providers – it’s called porting – and as a general principle most other companies will not offer it. So always check that your 0800 number provider has number porting agreements in place and know whom you could move to seamlessly if you had a problem.

Porting means taking your number from one UK telecom company and moving it to one of their competitors if you wish to do so. It is the essence of de-regulation and free market competition. Do not get stuck as no port agreements are in place, or you can only move to BT, whom may charge you double.
