What are non-geographic numbers?
Non-geographic numbers or NTS numbers belong to a group of numbers, designated by OFCOM; the range includes:-
0800/0808 Free Phone, 0845 Local rate, 0871 Special Rate, 090x Premium Rate and 0870 National Rate.
Will my normal landline number(s) still work?
Yes. Non-geographic numbers simply point to an existing telephone (landline or mobile, UK or International) or fax number. So whether a customer calls you on your non-geographic number or your normal landline number, you still receive the call.
How long does it take to set up a non-geographic number?
During the working week orders received before 4pm normally go through the same day. Urgent orders are connected two hours from point of order.
Upon receipt of your order one of our advisors will contact you to confirm your instructions and answer any queries you may have.
What are the costs involved
We don’t charge any set up or monthly fees for our standard non-geographic numbers. Charges vary according to the type of non-geographic number selected and the destination number of any redirected calls from the 08** number.
Can these numbers be dialed from abroad?
Whether or not someone abroad can call these numbers is dependent on the Network Carrier they are using e.g. AT&T, France Telecom etc, rather than the Country itself.
Please remember that callers outside the UK will need to dial the non-geographic number in its international format e.g. +44 870 123 1234
How can I change the number that my non-geographic number points to?
It’s very simple. All you have to is dial 0870 334 0208, enter your PIN and follow the simple instructions and enter the new number you want the 08** to point to.
Please note that change of destination requests are Free of charge.
Can I point my non-geographic number to my mobile
Yes. We can route calls through to a normal UK landline, fax or mobile number or even an international number.
