I received a letter awhile back trying to sell me another prefix number. This one is meant to be replacing the 0800's because it will also be free for mobiles. I can't for the life of me remember any of the details though. I'll try have a root for it unless the missus has binned it.

I thought about it at the time but I don't really need anything like that at the moment doing just fine with my mob number and landline.

In relation to my earlier post (was actually an email and not a letter)

This year we are going to start to see the decline of 0800 numbers. Why?

Because, according to Ofcom, in 2010 there will be more calls from mobiles than landlines. For the first time in history.

And the problem with 0800 numbers is they are free to call from a landline but cost up to 20p a minute from mobiles. Which is why a lot of smart companies are now switching to 03 numbers.

03 numbers cost the same to call as a regular landline number AND they are included in people's free minutes. Which is why they are starting to be much more popular than 0800 numbers.

This is good news for as 03 numbers are also much cheaper to run than 0800 numbers - in fact, around 90% cheaper.

And 03 numbers have the same kind of benefits as 0800 numbers:
• They help boost your sales by making it cheap/free for most customers to call you.
• You can keep the same phone number for life - which makes relocation a lot cheaper and easier.
• You can choose from thousands of memorable 03 numbers to ensure your business stands out.
• You can market your company nationally and maintain a local identity.
• You need never miss another call, as you can instantly route your 03 number to any landline or mobile via the web or a phone easily.

More and more organisations are now using 03 numbers, notably Oxfam, the Met Police, Pioneer, The RSPCA, Nikon, Children in Need and Capital Radio so you will be in good company.
Just imagine if the phone number for was 0333 1234567 or something similar. Remember, the quicker you act the better number you will get.
Your 03 number sits on top of your existing landline so you do not need to worry about replacing your existing phone number. You can just phase your new 03 number in when it suits you.
