0870 National Rate Numbers

These numbers are in the format 0870 XXX XXXX and many number ranges are available. For example, we can be reached on 0870 7777 258. The 0870 prefix may change in future to 0370.

From BT landlines calls are charged in full to the caller at the National Rate which is presently  6.73p excluding VAT. From mobiles and other operators call charges may vary.

These numbers are non-geographic and re-routable. They are indispensable in disaster planning strategy and for market research. Like 0700 Business numbers, they are in great demand by companies and organisations whose BT numbers may change, or simply change by reason of moving premises. National Rate numbers are yours for ever and will move with you as you move. Used in print advertising, they ensure that customers will find you any time in the future even when your BT number, and indeed your address, may have changed in the meantime.

Sometime in 2009 OFCOM will introduce changes in the way in which 0870 numbers will operate in future. The cost of calling an 0870 number will be reduced to approximately 4p per minute and the  “ owner “ of the number will pay up to 3.5p per minute to receive the call.

We have a large range of 0870 numbers for sale. Please contact us as to the availability of 0870 numbers of your choice, or call 0800 953 40 50..
