0844 Business Rate Numbers

What are 0844 virtual numbers?

0844 numbers are numbers which aren't connected to a landline. Not being tied to a landline gives virtual numbers great flexibility for you to control how and where you receive your calls.

When anyone calls your 0844 number, the call comes into our advanced call management platform and from there the call is sent to wherever you want it to: a landline, a mobile, a VoIP device or even an international number. This all happens in an instant so your caller will have no idea they’re calling a virtual number. For example:

Customer calls 01/02 number

Call is routed to our platform

Call answered at target office or mobile phone

Our online dashboard gives you real-time control of your numbers and gives you access to a wealth of features to help you to use your numbers most effectively. You can change where your number points to at the click of a button, get detailed statistics on your numbers and add extra features on demand.

“Invoco’s website is so easy to use and I am no technical expert!”

I currently use Invoco for call tracking numbers so I can see when people actually ring the numbers on my adverts, website etc. I can now measure which marketing campaigns are generating my sales leads and therefore which campaigns are working and which aren’t. Invoco’s website is so easy to use and I am no technical expert! Analysing the call data is straightforward too. Costs are really competitive, and the guys from Invoco are really nice and hugely helpful!

“My only concern is, why on earth I didn’t do this much sooner!!”

It was really easy to set up my call tracking numbers. But much more than that, it was very easy to start using them immediately! I have had some interesting statistics showing numbers of responses to two ads and it’s already helping me to review my advertising budget in a very objective way. I am also able to give accurate feedback to magazines and newspapers seeking to sell me advertising space. I advertise in booklets distributed by three different hospitals and I am going to be able to gauge very accurately the return I am getting on my spend. My only concern is, why on earth I didn’t do this much sooner!!

Frequently asked questions

Once you’ve chosen your numbers, it takes less than five minutes to set up your account and activate your number during normal working hours! If you’re not an existing client and you purchase a number outside of normal working hours then the numbers will be activated first thing the following day.

We don’t tie you into a contract and you can cancel your virtual landline subscription at any time.
For every call you receive on your 0844 number which is forwarded onto a standard landline number, we pay you 3p per minute. Simple. And if you’re VAT registered we’ll pay VAT on that as well.
No, unlike some 0844 number providers, we pay you for every call you receive on your 0844 number that is forwarded onto a standard landline number. There are no minimum call volumes or durations required. If the total minutes you receive on your 0844 number in a given month is less than 500 minutes, we rollover the minutes to the following month until 500 minutes are achieved and then pay the rebate.

Rebates are worked out monthly and paid within 35 days of the end of the qualifying month. E.g., the rebate for calls received in June would be paid during the first week of August.

No. You can change your redirect number using the online portal as many times as you like.
No. We’re very proud of our clear and easy to understand pricing. Unlike some providers we charge our calls to the second with no call connection charges, minimum call durations, or rounding the duration of the call up to the next minute.
We offer Paypal and Direct Debit.
You can route your 0844 number to a mobile phone TOTALLY FREE as long as you’re on either EE, O2, Orange, Three, T-Mobile or Vodafone.
Yes. Each user account is VoIP enabled by default so you simply need to configure your device to register with our platform using the login credentials on your dashboard.
You can receive as many concurrent calls on your 0844 number as you are capable of handling. You are only limited by the number of lines available to your target number.
Calls to our 0844 numbers cost 7p per minute including VAT plus your phone company’s access charge.
If you’re marketing to consumers then yes you’ll need to clearly state how much it will cost to call your 0844 number where practicable. The recommended wording is “Calls will cost Xp per minute plus your phone company’s access charge.” If you’re marketing to businesses this isn’t strictly required but we consider it good business practice to do so.
Yes. You will need to fill out a Letter of Authority with your new provider who will then contact us to commence the porting process. The length of time it takes to port the number can vary significantly depending on whether or not we already have a porting agreement with the new provider. There is a minimum service term of 12 months for numbers to be ported away from our network and we would charge an administrative fee of £25 plus VAT.
Possibly, but this can not be guaranteed. If you have overseas clients then it is advisable to offer them an alternative geographic number to call.
