New
03 number range now available...
 Ofcom,
the UK Telecommunications regulator introduced
new UK-wide 03 numbers from Autumn 2007.
Calls to
03 numbers should cost the same as calls
to geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02)
and should be included as part of any inclusive
call minutes or discount schemes for geographic
calls.
This should
apply 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
from 01.08.09 the price of calling an 0870
number was reduced to the same price as
calling an 03 number*.
For some this may
negate the need to move to the new 03 number
range.
If you can’t
decide which non-geographic number is right
for your business, call us for a Free no-obligation

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