A non-geographic number is a number used to identify a type of service rather than a geographical location. The types of service include freephone numbers (0800), local rate numbers (0845) and national Rate numbers (0870).

Non-Geographic numbers are for life.
If you move, they move with you!
No more changing every piece of marketing literature and company stationery and informing every associate when you move premises or when an extra digit is introduced to the national telephone numbering system.
In addition, the use of Freephone numbers portrays a business of credibility and a national presence.

0800 Numbers
When you use your 0800 number(s) in marketing campaigns – remember the following:

• Free calls increase response – 75% of people are more likely to respond to an advertisement featuring an 0800 number
• Telephone enquiries are converted to sales twice as often as written enquiries
• Offers you intelligent routing options, direct the call to the nearest geographic office
• Allows for accurate call analysis

0845 Numbers
0845 numbers are charged to the caller at the reduced local rate, irrespective of their location, and with the extremely competitive rates offered by Blue Bison we can provide these number ranges at much reduced rates to yourself.

They feature the same benefits of the 0800 ranges without the slightly higher cost – use the 0800 service to acquire new business and the 0845 service to keep it!

0870 Numbers
The 0870 number range is unique in so much as the calling customer is charged at the advertised BT national rate but because of the benefits brought to you by the volume of calls we process we offer you the 0870 number range not at a reduced charge but as a commission call!

Every time a caller uses your advertised 0870 number we will provide you with a credit of up to 2p per minute.
