Nope. Fed up with having £30 per month call charges phoning these sort of numbers. I would like to see these sorts of numbers banned. I think it is taking the piss charging people to phone you

 

[Indigo Cherry]

Yep and I have done! But don't tend to use it much!

Have you thought of an 0800 number? I have a contact that can set you up a FREE 0800 with no setup fee for about a fiver a month! PLUS you get 1200 incoming minutes for free each month!

That's 20 hours of incoming calls to your 0800 number for a fiver a month!

I always advertise my 0800 number for BT/Cable callers and also add my geographical number for mobile callers.

Will do! I'll dig it out when I get home! I'll PM you tonight!

It's actually 1000 mins, not 1200! Sorry! But that's still nearly 17 hours free!

Please PM me the details also Matt.

Much appreciated,

I wouldn't. I had an 0845 number and found I was getting few calls.

Matt, I'd also be interested in hearing more about this.

special rate numbers of any type are bad, full stop.

if it isnt included in standard minutes its bad full stop.

people like ringing 01/02 because you know where you are with them.

Which is why I advertise my 0800 AND my 01 number! To say special rate numbers are bad is just wrong!

MANY MANY MANY people call my 0800 nymber and I have got a LOT of business out of it! In fact I have got business BECAUSE of it!

No

Depends, if you are cute, offering special services and promise to, 'luv me long time'.

I might!!!

I am! lol

Categorically no.

 

[Call Tracker]

Depends if your offering is national or local. If local then you are better off using a local area number and if national a non-geographic tends to work better to communicate that you operate nationally. Always a good idea to offer a local number as well for those not wanting to call an 0843 though and you could go as far as putting the rate in the small print on your site so everyone is clear.

That couldn't be better. I hate 08 numbers as I'm always on my moby - to have the geo number as well suits me

I just saw this thread and never thought a number prefix might put people off. We have an 0845 number posted on our website, do you think this would put people off calling?

Yes I wouldn't ring you - i'd look for an alternative first.

 

[Aaron10]

no i wouldnt either, you are better with 0800 or the local phone code, which makes people feel like you are not purposely trying to rip them off.

 

[Oblonguk]

Thanks for the replies. I'll start displaying both my 0845 number and a local normal landline number from now on.

 

[pcproblems]

I think that people get confused over whether these sorts of numbers have high charges associated with them...

 

[AdamJ]

I think even more don't know or care what the differences are.

I think it also depends if its B2C or B2B. With B2B inclusive minutes on a mobile contract are less critical as most calls are from the company office, or the company is picking up the mobile bill.

Certainly would put me off.

Sureley an 0845 number , which costs only the same as a standard LOCAL call is not ripping anyone off.

0870 that's the rip off
