New
03 number range now available..

Ofcom,
the UK Telecommunications regulator introduced
new UK-wide 03 numbers from Autumn 2007.
Calls to
03 numbers cost the same as calls to geographic
numbers (starting 01 or 02) and are included
as part of any inclusive call minutes or
discount schemes for geographic calls.
This applies
to calls from any UK operator (Fixed line
or Mobile).
No revenue
sharing will be permitted on calls to 03
numbers.
The
03 code can be used by organisations with
branches across the UK instead of 08 prefixed
numbers.
How
do they work?
03 numbers
simply point or ‘translate’
to an underlying telephone number e.g. 0207
123 1234.
The underlying telephone
number is not affected in any way. Any services
you have on the line e.g. Call Minder, Call
Divert will continue to work as normal.
How
much do they cost?

Customers that currently
use 0870 numbers should also be aware that
in February 2008 the price of calling an
0870 number is likely to drop to the same
price as calling an 03 number.
For some this may
negate the need to move to the new 03 number
range.

for your business, call us for a Free no-obligation

*Lines are open 9.00am-5.00pm,
Mon-Fri.
