What are the advantages of having a 0300 / 0303 number?
0300 / 0303 numbers are great for getting the public to call you if you are a public sector
body or "not for profit organisation". People are more likely to call you if it
is going to be free for them to do so. 0300 / 0303 numbers are also recognised by the public
and so they are not afraid to call them. 0300 / 0303 numbers are not tied to a geographic
location so you will get calls from all over the country rather than from just one
place.
How does an 0300 / 0303 number work?
When the public call your 0300 / 0303 number it will route to either your mobile or landline.
The caller will not know their call is being diverted and you will never miss a
call.
Am I tied to a contract?
30 days written notice is all we require to cancel your number and close your account.
This can be done by email, post or fax.
How long does it take for my number to be connected?
If you process your order during working hours we aim to have your number connected
within the hour, if you order outside of these times, your order will be processed
as soon as the office is next open.

What is per second billing?
We charge all calls received by the second. You only pay for the time you are on
the call. We do not round the calls up and if you are only on the phone for 30 seconds,
then 30 seconds is all you will pay for.

All the numbers we can supply are listed on our website, if you have any special
requirements please contact us and we will do our best to provide you with your

Can I monitor how many calls I am receiving to my 0300 / 0303 number?
You will receive an itemised bill every month so you will be able to see how many
calls you have had, how long each one lasted and where the call was made from. If
you would like to know this throughout the month rather than at the end, we offer
online call statistics where you can monitor your calls. This is great for customers
with adverts who would like to know how many calls they are getting from these adverts
and whether they are worth the money spent. Online call statistics are charged at
£5.00 + VAT set up and then £5.00 + VAT per month. Please call us on 0800 142 2488 for
further details.
How can I tell if a customer has called my 0300 / 0303 number?
The best way of being able to differentiate between your calls is by adding a call
whisper. When you answer the phone you will receive a short message to tell you
where the call is from (this can be set by you to say whatever you like i.e. '0300 / 0303
number calling' or 'a business call') all the customer will hear is the phone ringing.
You can then answer the phone appropriately. Call whispers are charged at £5.00
+ VAT set up and £5.00 + VAT monthly rental.
Is there any other routing options other than landline or mobile like Skype or VOIP?
Yes, we can also route calls through to a Skype or VOIP number.
