Providing a revenue share of up to 4p per minute, 0871 numbers will cost your customers 10p per minute to call you at all times. They are accessible from anywhere within the UK and Northern Ireland and are also known as national rate numbers. This makes them useful for businesses requiring a revenue share from inbound calls.

Revenue generated from the inbound calls can help you fund the operation of a customer services or support team. When connected to our Call Manager Service, your 0871 number will provide you with a very powerful, highly configurable communications solution. For a full description of the benefits, see our services section.

Although 0871 numbers are not classified as premium rate, they are typically used for similar services and PhonePayPlus, the premium rate industry regulator will soon have powers to regulate services operated on 0871 numbers.
