Free 0870 Changed Number Announcement

0870 Revenue Sharing to Cease

From February 2008 the cost of calls to 0870 numbers will be the same as calls to national-rate geographic numbers and revenue sharing on 0870 numbers will cease. A free-to-caller pre-announcement informing the caller of the cost of the call will be required for companies intending to charge higher rates.

PhonePresence Changed Number Services

We offer a range of options for migration away from your existing 0870 Number. We can tailor a solution that will replace or enhance your existing call handling solution.

Changed Number Announcement

To ensure your customers remain connected with your company and that no business is lost, along with switching to another number, PhonePresence can provide a Free Changed Number Announcement on your existing 0870 number.

0844 Lo-Call National Number

The most likely option for business wishing to maintain a non-geographic phone presence is a Lo-Call National 0844 Number. 0844 numbers are charged to the caller at 5p a minute including VAT at all times. Depending on incorporated services an 0844 number may generate revenue share for your business.

0844 is the number of choice for business and organizations such as Health Authorities and Utilities where a low flat cost is considered a fair option for the consumer.

0871 Flat Rate Revenue Generating National Number

Business wishing to retain revenue sharing can consider migration to an 0871 number.

0871 numbers are charged to the caller at 10p a minute including VAT at all times. This is slightly more than a BT National Rate call (current peak rate 7.91p). A share of the revenue will be paid to you depending on the volume of your phone traffic.

An 0871 number is not a premium rate number and can be dialled from all land-lines and mobiles. Generally customers are as prepared to dial an 0871 number as they are to dial any other 08 or National Rate number.

Monitoring Your 0870 Number

Business electing to change from an 0870 number will need to consider the changeover period. While company literature and advertising is being changed to reflect the new number, and during the time it takes for customers to switch to the new number, calls will still be made to the existing 0870 number.

Along with the free changed number announcement, we supply web based call reports enabling you to monitor old number usage allowing your business to decide when to optimally cancel the 0870 number.

To keep your customers informed during the transition we can provide free recording of call prompts on your 0870 number.

Call Handling and Management Services

PhonePresence can additionally provide an extensive suite of fixed and mobile telephony services and the switch to a new number is the time to review your business call handling and management requirements.

Comprehensive Virtual PBX solutions offered via our Hosted Switchboard System can provide every conceivable aspect of call handling and call distribution at a reasonable cost from Small Business solutions through to high volume Call Centre Solutions.
