my 0845 number
Years ago I purchased (for almost no money) an 0845 number and its been fine ever since. The company I purchased it from no longer exist and I do believe my account was passed to a different company. Now the time has come for me to change the termination number for the 0845 number but I have no idea who to contact.
Is there some place I can find out that anyone might know of or is it a case of contacting ofcom? Thanks for any help Matt |

Thanks for any help Matt Why not use a landline number, so your customers can ring you for 4p, 5p, or even free, instead of paying about 3p/4p per minute? Personally speaking, I won't deal with companies using 0845 or 0870 numbers on principle. |

I can see the positives and negatives. On the plus side an 0845 number looks more professional and so the customer might think its a more established number and on the negative obviously they cost more money.
You could always go for a freephone number but I imagine these cost a lot of money to operate. Anyway, sorry I have no idea who you would contact. |

0845 doesn't look more professional to me, just smacks of rip-off calling.
However for some the benefits of 0845 are that you can point it to various numbers or route depending on time and date or whether a number is busy or not, without them being hit with a charge, as the revenue from the 0845 number covers this. |

A landline number says where you are. 0845 or 0870 says 'remote' - it could be Walsall or Warsaw, Delph or Delhi. |

You have made an incorrect assumption.
I actually list a landline and an 0845 number and allow people to choose which ever will cost them the least. |

0845 - 6p connection + 2p/min. 6am to 6pm and ½p/min. 6pm to 6am 7 days a week. 01/02 - 6p connection + 3.25p/min. 6am to 6pm Mon-Frid, 4.5p for up to an hour 6pm to 6am Mon-Frid and at all times at weekends. |

My costs to a landline are 5p per call, Mon to Fri 8am - 6pm, free at all other times Any call to 0845 is more expensive than that, and that's just putting money into someone else's pocket for no reason whatsoever. |
