0870 Numbers

If you are looking for a non geographic number that now costs less to call the 0870 number range is a good option.  In addition, our range of 0870 numbers has been specifically set up to allow callers to call from most countries outside the UK.

How are 0870 numbers used?

Once you have chosen your number it can be set up in one of two ways.  Using our low cost Basic service you can connect it to any UK landline number starting with 01 or 02.   Alternatively, if you require calls to the number to be handled more intelligently, or to connect to numbers other than UK landline numbers (e.g. to mobiles or international numbers) then it can be used with one or more of our Advanced Services. You can also start with a Basic service and move to an Advanced service at any time.

Basic Service with an 0870 number

You choose whether your 0800 number "sits" on top of your UK office or landline number; which is not affected in any way. Customers calling your 0870 number are immediately connected to your chosen landline. Using the Basic service, calls cannot be connected to mobile or international numbers but you can control where your 0870 number is connected from within your free Callagenix account.   There is no set-up or connection costs and call charges start from as little as 2ppm with a range of monthly and annual inclusive bundles to suit your needs.

Advanced Service with an 0870 number (Callagenix Services)

In the diagram below we illustrate how 0870 numbers can be integrated with Callagenix Intelligent Routing services.  These include call forward, virtual switchboard, group divert, answerphone, call diversion, company information line and fax to email.

Depending on your organisational set-up you may decide that callers should be diverted to mobile or UK landline, you may prefer a call centre hunt group to be involved or you may prefer a simple divert.  Whichever your preference once the 0870 number is dialled the Callagenix platform handles the call in the manner you prescribe.
