03 UK Wide Numbers
03 numbers are the new non - geographic number range. Calls to 03 numbers are usually charged to the caller at local rate.
One of the best features of having a UK Wide 03 number is that calls from mobile phones are included in any mobile call package, unlike other non-geographic numbers.
There are initially two sub ranges, the 030 range is reserved for use by public bodies, charities and not for profit organisations.
Users of these numbers will be able to differentiate themselves from commercial businesses.
The 033 sub range of numbers are available to all other commercial organisations.
There is an initial once only connection fee and an ongoing variable monthly charge based on call volumes. 03 numbers are enabled for international access into the UK from most overseas countries and can be redirected both nationally and internationally as required.
The user of an 03 number will pay up to 3.5p per minute to receive calls.
The very significant advantage for the 03 caller is that calls to 03 numbers will be included in any call package which includes free minutes. Such packages are now commonplace, particularly in mobile phone contracts. Effectively such calls become “free“.
030 and 033 numbers are now being chosen and connected by forward looking organisations as it is felt that they will eventually replace other number ranges and 03 will become a natural number progression from 01 and 02 and will therefore never change.
We have some highly memorable numbers immediately available.
