Non-Geographic Numbers

Take your business nationwide with a range of non-geographic numbers, such as 03 and 0845 numbers.

Overview

Non-geographic numbers are not assigned according to a geographic location. Instead, they are virtual telephone numbers that can be used no matter where your business is located in the UK.

Non-geographic numbers can be mapped to any existing phone number and even routed internationally, so you will never miss another important call. Additionally, your customers see these numbers as domestic numbers, no matter where they’re calling from, making it affordable for them to contact your business anytime. RingCentral offers a variety of non-geographic number ranges, so you can select the type that works best for your business.

Benefits of using non-geographic numbers

RingCentral offers a variety of non-geographic numbers to suit your business needs. You can select from:

  • 03 numbers: This is a new local-rate number range that isn't linked to an area code like 01 and 02 numbers. You can use them anywhere in the UK, and customers are only charged a lowered local rate to call, whether from a landline or mobile phone. The calls can even be free depending on how their minutes are bundled in their calling plans.
  • 0845 numbers: This is a premium-rate number that can also be used anywhere in the UK. These numbers are easy for customers to remember and have the benefit of being available nationwide. Calls to these numbers are typically not covered by inclusive minute calling plans, so customers are charged by the minute when calling in. Charges for calls to these numbers from a mobile phone can range widely by carriers.
  • 0800 and 0808 numbers: These are freephone numbers that are free for customers to use. Find out more about RingCentral freephone numbers.
