We recognise that everyone needs to cut costs where they can and with more and more people contacting us using their mobile phones we thought it would be a good idea to not only save you money on your leasing costs but to save you money on your calls too. Calls to 0845 or 0870 numbers can cost up to 27 pence per minute, calls to 03 numbers can cost you nothing at all (assuming you have inclusive minutes in your call package). Even 0800 numbers cost up to 20p a minute from mobiles.

The 03 local rate number range has recently been issued by OFCOM (the UK Telecommunications regulator) to help improve consumers trust and confidence in UK phone numbers. The intention is that the 03 number range will be used by businesses, public service organisations and charities that want a presence nationally and by switching from 0870 National Rate Numbers to 03 local rate numbers, consumers will incur no additional charges.

The 03 local rate phone numbers have been created as an alternative to the current chargeable 08 phone numbers (such as 0800, 0845, 0870 and 0871 Numbers). 03 Local rate numbers will allow consumers to have a clear understanding of the prices charged for a call to any 03 number, as the charges made for calling will be the same as the amount charged for calls made to geographic numbers (normal landlines starting 01 or 02).

03 numbers are also included as part of inclusive call minutes and discount schemes from all major mobile phone and landline operators, so if you have free minutes as part of your phone package then the call will cost you NOTHING. (You can still call our 0845 116 4455 number if you prefer).

Our account manager Cheryl was great! She was very helpful and showed us how to set up our new 03 number with step by step guidance, as well as explaining which would be the most beneficial products for us. Call Cheryl on 0333 1234 012 and mention Scorpion Leasing or click here to have Windsor Telecom to call you back.
