How safe is your 08 number ? Consider this. You get your new 08 number connected, place it in your adverts or letterhead etc and people start to use it. Then the company that you got the number from stops trading ! What happens to your number ? To safeguard any number I connect for you, I only use telecom companies listed in the FTSE 100. This means that if I stop trading, your number will still be carried on their system. People often say that your number can be 'ported' to another carrier. It can, but the 08 number still sits on the system of the original supplier of the 08 number. If they stop trading, your number WILL stop working. I have spoken directly to OFCOM on this matter to confirm this. They issue a 60 page document full of technical terms which you are welcome to view. Please click here to view the OFCOM manual. The bottom line is that your number is issued by OFCOM to the telecom company. No matter whether you buy through an independent re-seller like me or through a telecom company, the critical factor is who OFCOM have issued the number to. I personally guarantee 100% that all numbers we connect are issued to and carried by tier one telecom carriers who are FTSE 100 listed telecom companies. This should ensure the continuity of the service for your 08 number. PLEASE CHECK THAT OTHER INDEPENDENT RE-SELLERS OFFER THE SAME PROTECTION FOR YOUR NUMBER IT IS A BIG INVESTMENT FOR YOUR BUSINESS 0800 : 0845 : 0844 : 0871 : GEOGRAPHIC AREA CODES |
