0870 and 0871 Numbers

 

Why Should I Have An 0870 or 0871 Number?

Every business should have its own 0870 or 0871 "non-geographic" phone number (NGN).

You may have seen big companies advertising with an 0870 number, but what exactly is it? In a nutshell, it's a national, permanent number for life. When someone calls you, the call is routed to any UK landline (that is, any number beginning 01 or 02) you want.

This means you can target a national audience, wherever you are in the UK. You could be in Liverpool, London, Abersoch or Aberdeen - it doesn't matter. Calls are diverted to any UK landline (that is, any number beginning 01 or 02), and your caller never knows.

Your caller pays the same rate as a national call. There is no extra call charge for you.

This means you can operate from anywhere - even your spare room. Your business may not yet have a home, but yet you can look like a big company from the start. Better still, if you move offices, you can keep the same number and just divert to the new landline. You can even move from one end of the country to the other. You never need to change your stationery again.

What Does It Cost?

BT would charge you £225 per year for this service. We do things differently. 0870 numbers are available for just £50+VAT per year - that's just 16p per day.

Your Caller Pays:

BT National Rate

For a small extra charge, we also provide you with voicemail, when your line is busy or not answered. You need never miss your customer's call again.

We also provide 0871 NGNs. 0871 costs your caller a little more - currently BT charges 10p/minute. We recommend 0871 lines for faxes, because the extra call charge helps to reduce the number of annoying, tree-destroying junk faxes. Just like an 0870 number, there is no charge to you.

You can save even more with the IncWise Telecoms Package. You can have two NGNs for just £75 per year - less than the cost of renting a single line. You can have two 0870s, two 0871s, or one of each. The choice is entirely yours. Not only that, but we will also maintain your listing in Yellow Pages and Thompson Directory.

If you buy the complete StartNewBusiness Package, this service is included free of charge.

What If …

If you don't have a fax machine, or don't want to take up your spare line, you should consider our Virtual Office service. We provide you with use of our fax machine, and post your faxes on to you for a small handling fee per item. Alternatively, by special arrangement we can have your incoming faxes sent directly to your e-mail Inbox.
