Six Digit 0800 Numbers

Make it easy & free for callers to contact you by using a 0800 number

When 0800 numbers were first released there were only six digits after the 0800 code unlike the additional seven digits that we are familiar with today. By 2001 Ofcom had run out of these six digit numbers and so restored availability by introducing 7 digit 0800 numbers into the market.

Six digit 0800 phone numbers are slightly easier to remember than their seven digit counterparts which makes them just that extra bit catchy for advertising campaigns. Six Digit 0800 Numbers are now very scarce though and very difficult to source, and for gold six digit freephone numbers you would need to have a pretty liberal budget were we to secure one for you.

From recent experience of sourcing 0800 xx0000 for a client you can estimate a cost of in the region of £15K and upwards to set up. In this instance, the number was in the possession of another company that had previously acquired it for a campaign (rather than a telecoms provider) and this was the figure settled upon to persuade them to release it for our client. This is not an uncommon scenario for six digit 0800s and since Ofcom ran out of them in 2001 most are in the hands of private owners rather than with Telecoms operators and providers.
