0844 numbers and 0871 numbers will generate revenues for the business that holds the number. Most commonly 0844 numbers and 0871 numbers will be used for customer service helplines.

Some businesses will use 0844 numbers and 0871 numbers to filter out genuine sales calls.

Free Phone Number
0800 numbers belong to a group of telephone numbers in the UK that are free to call (also known as toll-free around the world).
As of July 2015, calls to 0800 numbers are free from both UK mobile phones and also UK landline or fixed line telephones.
0800 numbers are free to call from both landline telephone and mobile phones in the UK. The caller pays nothing to make the call.
0800 numbers are not free to call from outside of the UK. Businesses that advertise 0800 numbers, such as banks or credit card companies, will often have a geographic phone number as an alternative for callers from outside of the UK, such as 0207 123 XXXX.
0800 numbers are known as virtual telephone numbers. They are not physically isolated to any one phone line and instead sit on top of another telephone number. Any calls that are made to the 0800 phone numbers are automatically diverted to the destination number, which can be to a landline telephone, a mobile phone, or even a phone number outside of the UK on the other side of the world.
We’ve included some of our most popular features with our 0800 number packages:
• IVR (departments, “Press 1 for sales” etc)
• Call Whisper
• Divert to many
• Timed diverts
• Call traffic data
The business that utilizes the 0800 number (the number holder) pays for each connecting call – they pay on the caller’s behalf in other words.
Costs to the business can vary depending on the operator.
Here at Alphatalk, we’ve created a value for money package based on client feedback.
