0871 – a very rewarding prospect

Cash in on a regular rebate
How would you like a regular revenue stream, perhaps to knock a chunk off your company’s growing overheads?

An 0871 number from Telecoms World can do just that for you.

It works like this: Telecoms World gives you a rebate, from 3.25p up to 6p per minute, every time a customer rings you on your 0871 number. The more calls you receive, the bigger the rebate, which you could perhaps use towards staff salaries, telephone costs or technical support services.

What is an 0871 number?
An 0871 number is a business number in which the caller pays a national rate regardless of where they are in the UK.

How do 0871 numbers work?
When a customer calls you on your 0871 number, the call is automatically directed to a number you specify, usually to your landline business number.

Memorable numbers
The more memorable your phone number, the more likely you are to bring new customers on board. Telecoms World has a choice of memorable 0845 numbers to help you maintain a high profile for your business. Our numbers are separated into Standard, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum numbers, Platinum being the most memorable.
