0800 Numbers

0800 Numbers are free to call from any UK landline, which is why they are a very popular choice for customer service and enquiries lines. A number of companies will run their after-sales services lines on an 0800 number so customers who have enquires can get in touch for free.

There are some businesses that use premium rate lines for their call centres, which is likely to anger customers. Those companies who use a free phone line for their customer services call centres often report that they have a much high level of customer satisfaction than those who use a premium rate line. However, it is important to remember that although 0800 numbers are free for consumers to call they will cost the company who runs then, and if their line is likely to receive a high volume of calls then this cost can become quite expensive.

Although it is free to call 0800 numbers from a land line it is important to bear in mind that this is not necessarily the case when calling one from a mobile phone. If you call 0800 numbers from your mobile phone you will be subjected to a charge which is entirely at the discretion of your network operator. In many cases the cost of calling 0800 numbers from your mobile phone can be quite significant, so it is also wise to check with your network first before you go ahead and call the line.
