National Rate 0870

ECOCALL's National Rate service (0870 & 0871) enables people to call you from anywhere in the UK for the price of a national call, giving your business nationwide coverage without the need to invest in a local branch network.

Simply use a number from our range of National Rate numbers or take advantage of Number Portability [link] to move your current number from BT and other providers. Our network will then deliver calls to your chosen destination - call centre, sales team or service desk. Callers only pay for a national call (included on their normal bill). You can receive a percentage of the revenue generated by the call.

National Rate Numbers are ideal for:

	Businesses wanting to establish a national presence on a single number
	Businesses wanting to fund telephone customer support (e.g. timetable information or technical help desks) or customer fulfilment (e.g. brochure or CD ROM)
	Businesses selling low margin products and services e.g. booking lines for travel, theatre and cinema.

The benefits can be:

	Give people fast and easy access to your business via an easily remembered number
	Increase the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and generate higher quality leads (call charges are sufficient to deter time wasters)
	You can site your call centre or service desk anywhere in the UK - if it moves, the number stays the same
	Fully itemised bills to track the volume and nature of calls
	The ability to earn an agreed portion of the revenue generated from the calls
	Giving your business a national image and reach many more customers without having to invest in local premises and staff
	You can run your operations anywhere in the UK - if you move, the number stays the same
