the problem with 0800 numbers is they are free to call from a landline but cost up to 20p a minute from mobiles

03 numbers cost the same to call as a regular landline number AND they are included in people's free minutes; which are why they are starting to be much more popular than 0800 numbers.

0800 Numbers set to decline this year. Why?
According to Ofcom, in 2011 there will be more calls from mobiles than landlines for the first time in history. The problem with 0800 numbers is they are free to call from a landline but cost up to 20p a minute from mobiles; which is why a lot of smart companies are now switching to 03 numbers. 03 numbers cost the same to call as a regular landline number AND they are included in people's free minutes; which are why they are starting to be much more popular than 0800 numbers.

This is good news for Businesses as 03 numbers are also much cheaper to run than0800 numbers - in fact, around 90% cheaper.
