Cheap calls from landlines AND mobiles with our new 0330 phone numberOur new 03 number means cheap calls to the office from landlines AND mobiles. Add 0330 440 1211 to your contacts and give us a call with any first aid enquiry that you might have.03 numbers cost the same to call as 01 and 02 numbers and they are also part of your calling plan both for fixed line AND mobiles. For example, if you call an 03 number from your mobile and you have unlimited free calls to landlines then you should not be charged for the call.What are 03 Local Rate numbers?The 03 local rate number range has recently been issued by OFCOM (the UK Telecommunications regulator,) to help improve consumers trust and confidence in UK phone numbers. The intention is that the 03 number range will be used by businesses, public service organisations and charities that want a presence nationally and by switching from 0870 National Rate Numbers to 03 local rate numbers, consumers will incur no additional charges.The 03 local rate phone numbers (formally known as 'UK-wide' numbers) have been created as an alternative to the current chargeable 08 phone numbers (such as 0845, 0870 and 0871 Numbers). 03 Local rate numbers will allow consumers to have a clear understanding of the prices charged for a call to any 03 number, as the charges made for calling will be the same as the amount charged for calls made to geographic numbers (normal landlines starting 01 or 02). What is the effect of 03 numbers for Telecom operators?The new 03 Local Rate phone numbers will make it compulsory for Telecoms operators to offer the same discount schemes that currently apply to geographic numbers. Telecom operators adjust their bundled and all-inclusive call charges for calls made to 01, 02 and 03 numbers in order to compete with each other. The new OFCOM regulation has requested that all calls to 03 local rate numbers made from mobile phones and payphones have the same conditions as calls to normal landline numbers.03/07/2009
