Advantages of an 0808 number

0808 numbers FAQ
Get clear answers about 0808 numbers and how they work for your business.
0808 numbers are national location independent phone numbers which are free to call. They are therefore not tied to a city or region and they are always free to call. They are issued individually in the name of companies by the relevant UK authority.
You can always call 0808 numbers for free. The call costs are paid by the number holder.
The best and fastest way is of course via our 0808 number request page. You can also request a number yourself from the relevant UK authority. If you do it directly, we cannot help you with it, if you do it via our page, we will of course help you and do this registration process. This is also completely free of charge.
Yes, of course! These functions are possible with every telephone number at Belfabriek. A VoIP exchange from us or any other provider also works with it.
For the most up-to-date prices, please check our pricing page.
The relevant UK authority usually needs 2-3 weeks to process and approve your application. We then need another 5 working days to activate the number block in the national telephone network.
By using an 0808 number for your business, you have a service-oriented and customer-focused image. You spare no expense or effort to provide service. The customer can even call you for free! That using an 0808 number in your communication pays for itself is rock solid. Did you know that up to 25% more turnover comes from using a free number? That is why these numbers are also consistently used in the UK in advertising expressions. Definitely consider it if you want to set up a separate service department or are going to advertise something extra.
No. You cannot call an 0808 number from abroad. An 0808 number can only be called within the UK.
Companies that are expanding internationally and need a free 0808 number in another country can also be provided with an 0808 number in that country. Because we are now registered in 14 European countries, you have come to the best place and directly at the source. You can then set per country per number where the calls come in and program a separate greeting on your 0808 number in Germany and your 0808 number in England. Take a look at our international number shop to see which numbers we currently have available from stock, or feel free to contact us.
To apply for an 0808 number, it is necessary that you use it for business purposes. It is not possible to apply for an 0808 number for personal use, as it is intended for companies to allow customers to call for free.
0808 service numbers work with any online telephone exchange: it is a virtual telephone number that we forward to your ‘real’ number. So you do not have to invest in new equipment or make adjustments. The 0808 service number is then a separate number that is free for the caller and gives you a professional appearance in advertisements, for example.
You can see in real time in our dashboard how many calls and minutes are coming in on your free number. You will receive a monthly invoice from us for these calls and the subscription to our online telephone exchange.
