Using a different 0800 number on every advert allows companies to accurately assess the success or failure of their marketing campaigns argues Director of DBS Telecoms David Clarke.

David Clarke, Director of DBS Telecoms, offers advice on traps to avoid when choosing where to buy an 0845 number from.

The fax to email feature for 0800, 0844 and 0845 numbers can save your business money and resources and help you to be more environmentally friendly.

A new feature for 0800 numbers which diverts calls to a chain of up to five different phones or voicemails means that UK businesses need never worry about missing another phone call again.

Yell.com is considered to be one of the top five apps available for business by Apps Magazine – the new magazine specifically dedicated to reviewing the best iPhone, iPad and iPod apps available.

0800 numbers have become increasingly popular with businesses over the last decade because they are free to call from a standard BT landline. They also provide peace of mind and a source of continuity in times of upheaval.

Ofcom’s 08 range of non-geographic numbers is probably best known for the 0800 freephone prefix. However, sales of 0844 numbers have seen marked growth recently.

Missed telephone calls can equal lost business for a lot of UK based companies. However, with an 0800 telecoms number missed calls can be a thing of the past.

It seems the social aspect of business has become more and more relevant with social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Maintaining online updates with the latest news will ensure good communication between you and your clients.

Mobile phone users claim they are ripped off by mobile phone providers because they pay through the nose to call an 0800 number whereas the same call made from a landline is free. Ofcom is set to change things soon.
