Businesses can use 0844 numbers for variety of reasons.
First and foremost reason being that there is no incoming call charges for the business unlike the 0800 numbers. In fact you get a share of the revenue for every call that you attend. So it becomes a source of profit for the business.
The setup is quick. No extra equipments, phone lines required. Installation is very quick. This allows businesses to save on extra cost and time required to start using an 0844 number.
An 0844 number can simply be “mapped” on to your landline. This allows you to simply continue receiving calls on both numbers, the 0844 number and your landline number. You can also map your 0844 number to any number in future without any extra charges. You might want to do this if you change location or your landline number. 0844 also allows you to divert calls to any other landline number of your choice for no extra charge.
This also makes sure that a 0844 number you get remains with you for life. Hence even if your location is changed there is no need to change your business contact number.
Any calls to your 0844 number will automatically follow any diverts you have set up on your landline. For example if you routinely divert incoming calls to your mobile when you leave your office then inbound calls to your landline made on your 0844 phone number will follow the divert to your mobile.
There are many value added benefits that may come along with the 0844 numbers. Such benefits include:
Inbound call statistics
Call recording
Location based routing
Call queuing
Call hunt groups
Call menu systems
Voice to email
Fax to email
These ensure that all incoming calls to 0844 numbers are handled efficiently at all times of the day.
You can get a memorable for your business from a wide range of choice and with an additional payment. This will allow you to have an high recall rate among your customers.
