0800 numbers: common questions

How much does an 0800 number cost?+

£9.99 a month plus VAT, no setup fee, and £100.00 of call credit paid when you order. Incoming calls are taken off your credit at 3p a minute from landlines and 9p a minute from mobiles, charged by the second. It is added to any Silux Call plan (plans from £4.75 a month).

Is an 0800 number free to call from a mobile?+

Yes. Since July 2015, calls to 0800 and 0808 numbers are free from UK mobiles and landlines. Your business pays for the call instead, which is why 0800 numbers use call credit.

What does the £100.00 call credit pay for?+

Only your incoming 0800 calls. £100.00 covers about 3,333 minutes of calls from landlines, or about 1,111 minutes from mobiles. You can see every call and what it cost in your dashboard.

Can people call my 0800 number from abroad?+

Not as standard. 0800 calls from abroad are very expensive, so your number accepts UK callers only and callers from abroad hear a short message (you are not charged). You can allow calls from abroad in your dashboard; they cost 195p a minute from your credit.

What happens when my credit runs out?+

We email you when 90% and again when 95% of your credit is used. If it runs out, your 0800 number is paused (callers hear that it is temporarily unavailable) until you top up; your other numbers keep working. Top up any time by card, or, if you are a company, contact us for a monthly-invoiced account.

Can I have a monthly invoice instead of topping up?+

Yes. Apply for an 0800 account using the form on this page. We check every application and reply within one working day. Approved accounts are invoiced monthly for their 0800 calls.

Where do calls to my 0800 number ring?+

On your Silux Call phones: the mobile app, the browser phone and any desk phone, for every user on your account at once. You can also send them through a greeting menu, hunt group, opening hours or voicemail.

Is there a contract?+

No. The number is monthly and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
