Free Phone Number

Many companies have a free phone number which means that customers do not have to pay anything at all when they call the free phone number. Any number that begins with '0800' is a free phone number, and it is universally recognised as such. It makes no difference where the customer calls the free phone number from, however some mobiles charge customers for calling a free phone number.

Offering a free phone number has a wide array of business benefits. For example, people are more likely to call if it's a free phone number, so the business will receive a better response with a free phone number than they would have had with a paid number. Having a free phone number also helps give a positive image of the company, and people will think because you have a free phone number, that you care about your customers. Offering a free phone number obviously means that the company has to absorb the cost of the free phone number, and customers have a warmer attitude to these more caring companies. Companies that offer a service, or most charities, have a free phone number. They appreciate that many people need a free phone number because they may otherwise not be able to afford to call. Offering a free phone number allows the company to give something back to the customer, and the free phone number means they can ring from a pay phone or a house phone, and it is still a free phone number.

If a company has a special promotion then a free phone number is a good way to encourage people to call. Some phone calls take a long time and with a free phone number then customers do not get as frustrated, because the free phone number means there is no financial cost. A free phone number can also have memorable numbers to further support a marketing campaign.
