Free Phone Lines
If your company or business is considering setting up a free phone line for your customers' benefit then a brief internet search will reveal that there are many firms who are able to establish and maintain 0800 numbers for their clients. Although these 0800 numbers are free to call from UK landlines they are not free to run and the recipient of the calls will be billed appropriately for them.
Typically calls to 0800 numbers will cost the recipient per minute of calls received, which can lead to rather expensive phone bills for businesses who operate 0800 numbers. However, many of the free phone line companies that provide line rental to their clients will have various payment options and special packages available for people who expect to receive a high volume of calls to their 0800 numbers. These payments plans will typically take the form of a monthly payment and call limit. Any calls received that go beyond the amount in the agreed call limit will have to be paid for.
Although running 0800 numbers can be quite an expensive business they are ultimately quite beneficial to the companies that utilise them as potential customers are more likely to call a free phone line with enquiries. Also, 0800 numbers can increase the satisfaction level of your existing customers, particularly if they are used for technical support and other after sales service phone lines. Many people find having to pay to call customer support lines very irritating, particularly if they are charged a premium rate.
