TOLL FREE NUMBERS

Toll Free Numbers are special phone numbers that allow callers to reach a business without being charged for the call.

Here's how they work in simple terms:

No Charge to Callers: When someone calls a toll-free number, they don't pay for the call. This makes it convenient for customers to contact businesses without worrying about long-distance charges.

Business Pays: The business or organisation that owns the toll-free number pays for the incoming calls. This encourages businesses to provide easy access to customer service, sales, or support.

Identifying Toll-Free Numbers: In the U.K., toll-free numbers start with specific prefixes like 0800 and 0808.

How Calls Are Routed: When a caller dials a toll-free number, the call is routed through a network to the business's designated phone line. This process is managed by a database that directs calls to the correct recipient.

Benefits For Business: Toll-free numbers help businesses appear more professional and accessible, especially for customers outside their local area. They are commonly used for customer service, sales, and support
