0871 Numbers

0871 numbers allow you to earn a high revenue share on the incoming calls you receive, which is an ideal solution for a technical support line for example. 0871 numbers are charged to the caller at 8.5p a minute plus VAT or 10p a minute including VAT at all times, which is slightly more than a BT National Rate call (current peak rate 7.91p) but less than a Premium Rate call. We can divert your chosen 0871 number to a landline or even to a mobile for an additional cost. Simply choose the option which is right for your business when purchasing your 0871 number at the checkout.

Please note that these numbers will fall under ICSTIS regulation from February 2008. This means that the 0871 prefix will be considered a Premium Rate Number and be subject to ICSTIS regulations.

Benefits of 0871 numbers:

• Calls are charged at a flat rate at all times

The cost is up to 10p per minute (including VAT) for all callers at all times from a BT landline, which ensures zero risk of misuse.

• Gives your business a national presence and professional image

An 0871 number will remove the limiting factor of a regional identity, promoting your business to a much wider audience. This will effectively transform your image from a 'local firm' to a 'serious national business.'

• There's no need to change your existing landline number

When your customer phones your 0871 number their call is instantly redirected to whichever phone number you have given us. 0871 numbers can be delivered to any fixed landline, or even to a mobile! (additional costs apply)

• No extra lines to rent or equipment to buy

There is absolutely no requirement for extra phone lines or any equipment whatsoever. We simply divert the incoming calls to an existing number of your choice. Your phone will continue to receive calls on its original number as well as the incoming 0871 Freephone calls, and can be used to make outgoing calls as normal.

• It's future proof

An 0871 number will not change like a landline number, so if you move premises the number will move with you!

• Your 0871 number is quick & easy to set-up, so if you order online now it could be up and running later today!

Additional Information:

It's important to note that the price to call 0871 numbers can be varied. Callers can be charged up to 10p per minute from a BT landline but they could be charged a lot more if calling from a mobile or another operator.

You will be obligated to inform the caller how much the call is going to cost them per minute before you can charge for the call
