Introduced in 2007, 03 numbers are becoming more and more popular with image conscious businesses wanting to offer a more customer friendly telecoms solution. Many charities and leading organisations are opting to use 03 numbers over the more traditional 08.

Unlike the 08 non-geographic numbers, 03’s cost the same to call as a geographic landline number (starting 01 and 02); however they still retain all the benefits that the 08 numbers provide.

In addition to this, 03’s have the unique quality that they are the only non-geographic number that are included as part of inclusive call minutes and discount schemes with most major mobile phone operators.  According to Ofcom, there will soon be more calls made from mobiles than landlines in the UK – however calling a non-geographic number from a mobile can be costly to the consumer. Even companies that have provided a free phone 0800 number for their customers will discover  that, although they are paying the full cost of the call, their customers will also be paying up to 20p per minute.  Switching to a 03 number eradicates this problem and is a considerably cheaper option to businesses than using free phone 0800 numbers.
