0870ver - 0870 over! - Lascom Solutions

0870 is changing..

Ofcom the communications regulator is changing the way 0870 telephone numbers work.

Click here for the Ofcom statement

What does this mean if your company operates one?

•You will start to pay for your inbound telephone calls.
•No longer receive revenue share from your inbound calls.

Example

Your company receives 80 inbound calls per day with average call duration of 3 minutes @ £0.03 pence per minute (national rate):

80 x 3 = 240 x 5 days x 52 weeks x £0.03pence = £1872 per annum

And you would no longer receive revenue share on the above calls under the new regulations.

Solution - What to do?

Continue to use your 0870 number(s) at no cost, whilst implementing a new 0844 number(s) before the Ofcom changes.

This is achieved with our secure, easy to use web platform.

We issue you with a login and password to the web platform, where you will be able to access your number(s) and control, in real time, the following functions:

• Outbound recorded messages
• Call routing by time and day
• Call recording
• Call queuing
• Call reporting
• Auto attendant
• Fax to email
• Follow me
• One to one
• Call whisper
• Voice mail

The change is seamless and avoids disruption to your business

Costs - Nothing

Solution 1

We will provide our solution FREE OF CHARGE if we can port your 0870 number from your existing provider.

Solution 2
