Marketing Numbers (08xx)
Marketing Numbers are also known as Non-Geographic numbers (or NGNs), for example numbers starting in 0871, 0870, 0845, 0800 and 0808.
You can have any amount of numbers all directed to the same terminating number. This is ideal for adverts or marketing where you want to track the success of a campaign.
Your marketing number is not a replacement for a BT number. Both numbers can work at the same time. If a caller is not aware of your new marketing number and still calls you on your BT number, the call will still get through to you. Please note that if a caller does call you on your BT number instead of your revenue generating number you will not receive any payment
How do I decide which type of number?
We have suspended all orders to 0870 and 0871 numbers as Ofcom are changing the rules in February 2008. It currently looks as though 0871 will remain and offer a revenue share, but will be regulated. Whilst, 0870 will start to be charged at the originators call rate and so will start to incurr a charge but we are unsure yet. It is due to these unknowns we are suspending all orders until the new rules are published.
Look at the 4 choices below and decide which one is best for you, all have FREE connection. Your decision will be based on what you want your customer to pay compared to what you wish to pay or earn per call. The 0870 numbers and 0871 numbers are free to yourself and earn you revenue but are slightly more expensive to your caller, whilst the 0845 numbers (0845 call local rate UK) and 0800/0808 numbers are cheap to your caller but you subsidise the cost along with no earnings.
All you need to do is to fill in our Application Form by clicking on one of the ORDER NOW butons which asks you to provide us with your terminating number (the telephone number that you want your marketing number directed to).
We realise there are lots of options to choose from, so if you need to ask advice just give us a call.
