0800 Numbers

An 0800 number resides in the telephone exchange and works by being "pointed at" a landline phone number that you nominate, which is usually your current main advertised telephone number, or perhaps a phone line that has been set up for a particular purpose or service.

Callers can reach you in two ways: by dialling the normal landline number, and/or by calling your new 0800 number.

Which one they use is down to your marketing / advertising approach.

Every 0800 number has phone bill statistics - you can measure your marketing success by analyzing 0800 number call traffic.
