Freephone 0800 and 0808 Numbers
True freephone 0800 and 0808 numbers - free to the caller from any UK landline or mobile since Ofcom's 2015 rule change - ideal for response marketing, high-value service lines and campaigns where every response counts.
About freephone 0800 and 0808 numbers
Since 1 July 2015, calls to 0800 and 0808 numbers are free from both UK landlines and mobiles. That change transformed the response economics of freephone campaigns and removed the biggest barrier to callers picking up the phone.
Telappliant holds large 0800 and 0808 allocations including memorable digit patterns and Freephone Gold ranges. We can reserve a number for you before campaign launch and hold it live for tracking purposes only until you are ready.
Freephone calls are billed to your business per minute at published rates, with clear per-campaign cost caps and per-hour spend controls so campaign spikes cannot generate uncontrolled bills.
For marketing use, we can attach unique 0800 numbers per source (offline ad, direct mail, radio, TV) and expose call volume, duration and outcome per source in the same portal as your other numbers - so attribution stays honest.
