0808s are extremely memorable and, in addition, provide an invaluable UK-wide presence, which we think you will agree makes great marketing sense. Why restrict your business to one location when you can have a telephone prefix that suggests nationwide capability? Free to call from landlines and some mobiles (hopefully all in the near future), 0808s are an attractive choice for both you and your customers. As a freephone number, 0808s are incredibly popular with businesses both large and small. As a Non-Geographic number, they offer the scope to grow almost any company, and potentially attract an increase in calls too.

Usually, when calling a phone line people will want to get off the phone as quickly as possible due to the incredibly expensive costs per minute. However, with the 0808 numbers being free there is no need to do this. This means a customer/citizen/etc will spend more time on the phone line. This is why the majority of companies/organisations that use this number are charities or customer service. They want to fix your problem and their main goal is to help you out so it can be a real struggle if you can’t stay on the phone long enough. Companies who use this number are more likely to have more positive customer experiences. This could potentially give your company/organisation a better reputation overall. So, even though the company is the one paying for the calls it could work out positively as a whole.
The reality of using 0808 numbers while abroad could either result in the local phone company not letting you call the number at all. Even if you use the international code for the UK, which is +44. Another scenario might be that they do allow you, which is unlikely although possible in some places. If this is the case, however, you will not know how much the local phone operator is going to charge you to make the call, which could be an issue. An 0808 number will certainly not be free from abroad if it does work.
The best way around this situation is to find out the alternative non freephone number alternative. There will be one but might take a little investigation work on your part. Performing a search online for the alternative geographical number is a good start. Also, if it is your bank that you are trying to ring then have a look on the back of your bank card. There may just be a number for you to use when you are calling from abroad.
A variety of companies and organisations use 0808 numbers. The most common companies that use these numbers are:
