UK 0800 & 0845 Services
If you are in the market place for an 0800 number, 0844 number
or an 0845 number there are many considerations to take into account
before taking on board a new telecoms supplier.
This can be a daunting task for business owners and marketing managers in the UK.
Essentially the decision boils down to three influental factors which have stood
the test of time. You’ve probably guessed them all ready but they are:
- Price
- Quality
- Service
Let’s have a look at these factors one by one...
1. Price
Your mother probably told you get what you pay for. We agree with your mother.
Carrying out research on 0800 numbers in particular will probably reveal three main
price structures. Telecoms companies that give it away, those that have reasonable
charges and those that have sky high prices. Obviously you will have to carry out
the research personally to identify each price structure. The 0800 number company
that charge low prices or claim to give “free 0800 numbers” will usually have a
catch. So, read the small print. It may be that a certain number of minutes are
free but after that some hefty rates apply. At the other end of the scale you don’t
need to spend huge amount to set up an 0800 number. We recommend you go for a company
like
DBS 0800 Number Telecoms who have a reasonable set up fee and reasonable
monthly rental charges.
2. Quality
When you set up your 0800 number make sure you aren’t getting VOIP lines – the quality
of 0800 number calls is just not there yet - it may be in time to come but for now
avoid VOIP.
3. Service
You need your 0800 number provider to offer great customer service – not lip service.
During your research ask yourself - is this the kind of company I want to do business
with? You should expect all your telephone calls to your provider to be answered
promptly on the third ring or before and not to be put on hold forever. Look for
a cheerful and enthusiastic response to any questions you may have about an 0800
number or connection of an
0845 number service.
Follow these simple guidelines and you should be happy with your 0800 number purchase.
