Choosing the 0870 Numbers
August 152010
Controversy has gone hand in hand with telephone numbers for a great many years now. Today, this is no more obvious than with 0870 numbers . From cost, through to cloudy details over a company’s location, the debate over their use continues. They remain popular though, and hopefully this quick guide will get to why that is.
The beauty of 0870 numbers is that they allow just one contact for a company with locations right across the country, or one contact number per department where traditionally multiples would have been used. When changing site too, the number can simply be taken; reducing expense, potential confusion to customers, and continuity of service.
Con: Cost: Consumers are increasingly aware of the additional costs they face in calling 0870 numbers and, particularly in these times, this is always going to raise a reaction. With many providers starting to wrap these numbers in standard packages however, the impact of this is being limited.
