03 numbers 'beneficial to organisations and consumers'

Date: 25/10/2011

The majority of organisations may already have marketing schemes in place in a bid to promote themselves and make people aware of their services.

It might be more important than ever for groups to establish a presence within the market place and attract as much interest as possible with the threat of another recession looming in the UK.

One way in which some enterprises could do this is to purchase 03 numbers, as these are especially reserved for bodies operating in the charity and public sectors.

There are many advantages to purchasing these prefixes for both consumers and companies.

They are memorable digits and cost the same as contacting a standard landline number, even if the caller is getting in touch using a mobile phone.

As a result, organisations benefit because people may be more likely to call and generate business.

Many doctors' surgeries in the UK have been urged to adopt 03 numbers in recent months to replace 0845 numbers, which can lead to high charges for patients.
