0845 Numbers
Increase your customer base with an 0845 number.
Why rent an 0845 phone number?
0845 phone numbers are a compromise between keeping your own operating costs to a minimum and offering a cheaper alternative for your customers, encouraging them to call you. They pay the standard local rate fee regardless of where in the UK they are calling from.
As with the 0800 free phone numbers, they add an air of professionalism to your advertising and can increase the number of calls you receive, and protect you against the hassle of regional code changes.
0845 numbers can be used to simply redirect to your existing UK telephone number, or can be integrated with any of our other services from an answer phone to a comprehensive virtual switchboard service.
How do 0845 phone numbers work?
Basic Service 0845 number (Number Direct)
Your 0845 number "sits" on top of your BT type number. When customers
dial your 0845 number they are redirected to your own landline. This does
not affect your BT number in any way. 0845 numbers will only work diverting
to UK landline numbers; they will not work with mobile or international numbers.
0845 with Advanced Services (Callagenix Services)
0845 numbers can be integrated with other Callagenix advanced services such as virtual switchboard (see sample diagram below), answer phone, fax, call diversion, company information line, group divert, call forward and call transfer.
Here the caller dials the Callagenix number, the call is routed to a Callagenix platform that runs your service and handles the call is the manner you prescribe. This may involve a simple announcement or divert to a mobile or UK lanldine, or it may involve call options and call center hunt groups.
