Case in Point
A betting shop offers football fans a subscription service to fans wishing to receive final scores of football matches. The fan phones an 0845 number, then is prompted via an automated call handling system to provide information to register for the subscription service. Each week, the fan receives the scores via text and a fee is charged.

Amplefuture offers a range of non–geographic numbers – 0800, 0845, 0870, 08XX and 090X – to companies wanting to offer consumers a phone number to call for a service or product. The numbers can connect directly to technical helpdesks or the entertainment service and can be offered free, with varying tariff rates or with a memorable sequence. In addition to offering the numbers, Amplefuture can manage call volume levels by re–routing in peak periods or during times of staffing absence, out–of–hours periods or overflow.
Types of no–geographic numbers include:
- 0800 (freephone) numbers encourage maximum response from your customers, as the call is free of charge. Companies typically use 0800 numbers for customer care.
- 0845 is another consumer–friendly number that allows customers to contact companies for the cost of a local–rate call, regardless of where they are dialling from within the UK.
- 0870 is a national rate tariff, providing companies with a national presence and a per-minute payment from Amplefuture for each call made to the number.
- 08XX tariffs range from a caller cost of 4 pence–per–minute to 10 pence–per–minute. 08XX numbers offers businesses the option to generate call revenue without charging premium rate tariffs.
