Toll-free telephone numbers, also called Freephone and 0800 numbers, are an amazing resource for the modern business. We tend to think of them in terms of how much they’ll cost, but perhaps the best way to consider them is in the ways that that they can save and help generate money.
• Business Image
In business, image is everything, and 0800 numbers help image in a number of ways. The numbers are non-geographic, which allows a business outside the UK to disguise that fact. It also allows a company to seem bigger than they really are because customers associate 0800 numbers with large, successful businesses.
• Safe Investment
Marketing a business properly and cost-effectively is a key to success. Most small business can’t afford a do-over. With 0800 numbers, a business can invest in their number with the knowledge that they will have that number for as long as they want it. They can’t lose it.
• Scalability via Routing
The reason a business cannot outgrow their 0800 numbers is because the numbers are just an entry point to the network. As the call volume increases, the provider or business can add additional lines through routing that occurs on-site or at the service level.
• Client Accessibility
A business wants to make it easy as possible for clients to call, and no way is more accessible than a toll-free call. These numbers increase the rates of call-in leads and when used for customer support, they help build loyal clients.
• Data and Analysis
These numbers also provide a great deal of information to the subscriber because the provider is able to record details about every outgoing and incoming call, including the call itself if the subscriber wishes. This allows businesses to analyze their phone usage thoroughly and to plan accordingly. The savings provided by such a system often offset that cost of the subscription itself.
• Portability
Since 0800 numbers are NGNs, they can “move” as needed with little to no effect on those who use the number. For instance, a business may move their call center from the UK to somewhere in Europe and as soon as that call center is up, the provider can begin routing the calls to the new location.
