0800 VoIP Numbers

Using 0800 numbers in your marketing isn’t just about looking professional – it’s about getting results.

Customers are far more likely to call when it’s free. An 0800 number linked to your VoIPer phone system means more business and better reach.

What Are 0800 Numbers?

0800 numbers are non-geographic numbers that allow businesses to receive calls without being tied to a specific location. These numbers are free for the customer to call, with the business covering the cost of the call.

They are commonly used by organisations looking to make it as easy as possible for customers to get in touch, whether for customer service, sales enquiries, or support.

What Are Freephone Numbers in the UK?

Freephone numbers in the UK are telephone numbers that can be called free of charge by the caller, whether from a landline or mobile phone. These 0800 and 0808 prefixes are the only types of freephone numbers in the UK.

Freephone numbers are typically used by businesses and charities to encourage customer engagement by removing the financial burden from the caller. They are often associated with larger, professional organisations.

Why Choose an 0800 Number?

1. Boost Customer Confidence
   By offering a free-to-call number, you reassure customers that getting in touch won’t cost them a penny. This can significantly increase call volumes and engagement rates.
   
2. Create a Professional Image
   0800 numbers are recognised as a mark of credibility and professionalism. They’re associated with well established, customer-focused businesses.
   
3. Expand Your Reach
   Since 0800 numbers are not location-specific, they help you attract customers nationwide, making them perfect for businesses with a broad geographic audience.

How Much Do 0800 Numbers Cost?

At VoIPer, 0800 numbers start from just £12.50 per month, which gets you 500 inclusive minutes of incoming calls.

Calls exceeding this allowance are charged at:

• 2p per minute from UK landlines
• 5p per minute from UK mobiles

Calls are billed by the second and rounded up to the nearest penny, ensuring transparent pricing.

Why Choose an 0800 Over an 0345 Number?

​​Both 0800 and 0345 numbers are professional non-geographic options, but they serve different business needs. Choosing between them depends on your goals, budget, and customer preferences. Here’s why 0800 might be the better choice:

1. Free Calls for Customers
   0800 numbers are entirely free for callers, while 0345 numbers are charged at local rates or deducted from inclusive minutes.
2. Higher Call Volumes
   Offering free calls encourages more customers to reach out, making 0800 ideal for sales or customer service lines.
3. Enhanced Customer Perception
   0800 numbers signal a customer-first approach and are widely recognised as a hallmark of professional, established businesses.

Things to Consider Before Getting an 0800 Number

While 0800 numbers offer clear advantages, there are some important factors to consider before choosing this option for your business. Here are key points to keep in mind:

1. Cost for the Business
   0800 numbers require the business to cover the entire cost of incoming calls, which can add up, especially if call volumes are high.
2. Accessibility from Overseas
   0800 numbers are generally free within the UK, but may not be accessible or free from international locations, so additional contact options, such as international toll-free numbers should be considered for overseas customers.
3. Higher Mobile Call Charges
   Although calls to 0800 numbers are free for customers, calls from mobile phones typically incur higher call costs for the business due to mobile surcharges.
