0844 Numbers Versus 0845 Local Rate Numbers (Non Geographic) |
0844 Numbers
0844 Numbers are the new and realistic 0845 replacement, bearing in mind that
0845 numbers are due to be reviewed by Ofcom within the next 18months.
The range has also proven popular for 0870 number migration as there is a low
rate call cost to callers – only 5ppm – and the range also allows for a revenue
stream. The 0844 range is less costly to the business than using a freephone
number and as the calls are charged at a fixed price, it is much less likely
that Ofcom will impose any future regulatory changes to this range.
0844 numbers provide access to all the Network Level Services.

0844 is a prefix that companies use on their phone number so callers pay local rate, wherever they are calling from in the UK. 0844 is not as well known as the prefix 0845, but 0844 does the same job. Companies may choose 0844 as an alternative because the number they want has already been used by 0845. Also, they can make callers aware that 0844 is local rate by saying 'all 0844 calls at local rate' so the caller knows for sure that the call to 0844 will be cheap.
Many companies offer their customers local rate 0844 calls because it improves business, and gives them a national presence. A customer calling 0844 will have no idea where the company is based, and may presume that because they have a 0844 that they are a successful and national company. The 0844 prefix will attract their business because they want to be sure that they company will treat them in a professional manner, and the 0844 number does give them extra credibility.
Companies often get bad press if they are known to have bad customer service, and they don't have an 0844. If callers have to spend extra money just to make a complaint because there is no 0844, they may not give their return business. An 0844 number puts the relationship on a better footing in the first place, as the customer does not feel ripped off by telephone charges because of the 0844.
Whether a company has 0844 or 0845, the result is the same. The company could be in Aberdeen but with 0844 the caller could be in Cornwall and still pay local rate when calling 0844. Callers are also more likely to call an 0844, so businesses can use that 0844 opportunity to build a better customer relationship |
