Office Response can assist you with a range of Non–Geographic and Geographic telephone numbers.

Non–Geographic 08 Phone Numbers

Non–geographic numbers, starting with 08, are virtual numbers and are connected onto a terminating standard number (01 or 02 number). These numbers are becoming increasingly popular for a number of reasons:

1. They have inbuilt call divert facilities e.g. we can set up time dependant diverts to switch calls between different locations at set times of the day and days of the week.
2. They can play a part in increasing the level of response from marketing campaigns by encouraging calls from outside of your location and by reducing the cost of the caller’s call.
3. They are portable numbers. If an 08 number is used as your main business number if you change your location there is no need to change your telephone number.

There are a number of different options:

Freephone 0800, 0808

The cost of the call is completely paid for by the recipient. These numbers are useful to increase the number of telephone enquiries from marketing activity where your adverts may appear alongside other similar adverts. A free to call number may generate extra enquiries.

Lo–call 0845

Charges are split between the caller and the recipient. 0845 numbers create a nice "touchy, feely, friendly" atmosphere for your business and are particularly useful if you trade with the public outside of your region.

National Rate 0870

The caller pays the cost of the call at the national call rate. If you are dealing mainly with larger businesses where the caller is unconcerned with the cost of their call and you are looking for an economical option then an 0870 number could be the answer.

Geographic 01 & 02 Numbers

We can also assist you with a geographic number for most of the telephone exchanges in the UK. If you’d like an Andover or Zetland number and all stops in between then we can help. With these numbers you will get a number proceeded with the area code of your choice. Calls are then forwarded to your chosen location. You are charged a line rental and call charges for the call costs.

Fax to Email

As an alternative to maintaining a fax machine and paying rental for a dedicated telephone line we can issue you with a telephone number to receive faxes as email attachments. You can easily view the fax, save it on your computer or even print a copy if desired. If it is something unimportant, you can delete the fax at the click of the button. You can also forward the fax through email to other employees without photocopying it.
