03 Numbers

What are 03 numbers?

03 numbers have been introduced as an alternative to 08 numbers to improve the trust and confidence in UK phone numbers. Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than calls to national geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02).

Who can use 03 numbers?

Numbers starting 030 are designed for use only by public bodies and not for profit services. Numbers starting 033 can be used by any organisation. Numbers starting 034 and 037 are available to anyone currently using 084 or 087 numbers

09 Numbers

These allow you to provide services and information to customers at a premium. The increased cost of the call should cover the cost of providing the information / service. You can allow businesses to expand their channels to market and assists in reducing the cost per sale.
