0870 national rate numbers
The 0870 national rate code is already being used by major corporations and many small and medium sized businesses. These numbers create the perception of a national company and allow you to market in areas where you have no physical presence. If your organisation relocates you can take your number with you.
Your callers pay the BT published national call rate, and you will receive the calls at no charge and receive revenue. Callers pay at BT's National Call rate, which is 8p/min daytime, 4p/min evenings and 2p/min weekends.
Reasons for using 0870 telephone numbers include:
- Give your customers a professional looking number to call.
- Take your 0870 number with you if you move or relocate
- Avoid reprinting stationery and livery
- Present a national image
- Hide your company's location
- Earn a call revenue on calls you receive
- You pay no call charges to receive calls
- Your number can be listed free in every UK phonebook and 192 directory enquiries area.
