Since the 0870 Ofcom price changes came into place last August 2009 banning revenue sharing, callers should now be paying the same call cost as if they were calling a UK geographic number and may even be part of an inclusive minute’s package as well. So, if you are looking for a non geographic number that now costs less to call the 0870 number range is still 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.
Using our standard routing service, when your customer phones your 0870 number their call is automatically (and instantly) redirected to your local UK 01 or 02 destination number. You can change this 'destination' number as often as you want without charge using your free on line Callagenix account. Call statistics are also included free of charge.
If you would like your 0870 number to do more than divert to your UK landline, for example, route to mobiles, internationally, or use an ACD, Virtual switchboard, Answer phone, Information lines etc, you can do this and much more using our intelligent routing services. Please contact us, or look at our range of intelligent routing services at the link below.

You can of course start with a standard routing service and upgrade to intelligent routing services using the same 0870 number at a later date.
Why use an 0870 number?
You can take the number with you if you relocate, something which cannot be done with standard local landline numbers and you can have calls forwarded to your existing landline or mobile anywhere in the world.
In addition, 0870 and all 08XX numbers offer greater flexibility when implementing “Business Continuity” and “Disaster Recovery” plans into your business.
- An 0870 can be called reliably from outside of the UK, e.g +448706260626. This is not true of the other 08xx ranges.
- An 08 non geographic number adds a touch of professionalism
These numbers are available with or without other Callagenix services, so you can create a solution that fits your business needs or select from one of our existing packages.
