In all cases, by using a dmNumber non geographic you can give your company a more professional image. And since you can easily change which "real" telephone numbers that callers to an dmNumber will be connected to, and instantly configure them in voice mode, fax mode and virtual switchboard mode, dmNumber 0845, 0800, 0870, 0871 and 07005 Non Geographic Numbers also offer you a great deal of flexibility
Pro numbers consist of 0845, 0800, 0870, 0871 and 0207 numbers. They involve a very modest setup fee (from about £10 + VAT) and a small rental charge (from around £16 + VAT per year)
Free For Life numbers consist of all numbers starting with 07005. They have no setup fee and no monthly rental charge and are yours for free for life as long as you use them according to the dmNumber Free For Life usage policy.
Each type of dmNumber number also has its own particular advantages and disadvantages:
[ Pro 0800 ] [ Pro 0845 ] [ Pro 0870 ] [ Pro 0871 ] [ Pro 0207 ]
[ Free For Life 070058 ] [ Free For Life 070059 ]
| Pro 0800 ("free to call*) dmNumbers: | ||
The benefits of 0800 numbers are obvious: Customers or potential customers are far more likely to contact you if they know they won't be charged for the call*. On the negative side, you will have to pay for the cost of each incoming call you receive on an 0800 number. Please see our price list for rates. Please click here for more info on 0800 dmNumbers |

| Pro 0845 ("Local Rate*) dmNumbers: | ||
Again customers are more likely to call you if you use an 0845 number than they would if you had a "normal" (geographic) number, as calls are charged at the standard BT Local NTS Rate* no matter where you or the caller are located. There is a charge to you for receiving calls on our 0845 dmNumbers, but this is lower than when using an 0800 number. Please see our price list for rates.

| Pro 0870 ("National Rate*) dmNumbers: | ||
Despite the benefits of 0845 and 0800 numbers, the majority of businesses large and small opt for 0870 numbers. With these numbers the customer simply pays the standard BT National NTS Rate* when calling you from a normal BT line and you pay nothing to receive a call when diverted to a UK landline. By using this type of number you can therefore give your company a professional, national image without incurring any incoming call charges. Additional charges do apply for mobile and international diversions, however. Please see our price list for rates. WARNING: Please click here for more info on 0870 dmNumbers |

| Pro 0871 ("Euro") dmNumbers: | ||
An increasingly popular and relatively new type of NGN, calls to our 0871 "Euro" numbers cost the caller 10p per minute (including VAT)* at all times when called from a standard BT line, no matter when they call. What makes them particularly special is that there is no charge for diverting incoming calls not only to any UK landline, but also no charge for diverting calls to a landlines in the United States, Canada, and a number of countries in Europe. This makes them absolutely ideal for individuals or companies outside the UK requiring an inexpensive way for UK customers or friends to reach them. Please see our price list for details.

| Pro 0207 ("London") dmNumbers: | ||
In the past, the only way to obtain an 0207 number was to actually have an office in London itself. But with our 0207 dmNumbers, anyone almost anywhere in the world can now receive calls, no matter where they really are, on a number that appears to be at a location in central London. This gives your company that exclusive "high profile" appearance than only central London numbers can provide, without having to invest in a London office. A modest per minute charge applies for receiving calls on 0207 dmNumbers. Please see our price list for details. Please click here for more info on 0207 dmNumbers |

| Free for Life 070058 ("D-Rate - World Office") dmNumbers: | ||
The 07005x numbers are known as "Personal Numbers" and look very much like mobile phone numbers. They are generally more expensive to call than 08's and 0207 numbers (callers are charged at BT's "D" Rate which is 8.38ppm in the Evening and at Weekends, and 14.22ppm during the day*) and as such they are more suitable for contacting individuals than for sales use, although they make good field support numbers for staff who are on call. But the best thing about our dmNumber 070058 numbers is that, unless you opt for an optional Gold (i.e. particularly memorable) number, subject to the Free For Life usage policy, they are yours for free for life with no set up fee and no rental charge, making them perfect personal contact numbers and ideal for trying out our advanced dmNumber services. Diversions to UK landlines and many international destinations using this number range are completely free. Please click here for details on where you can divert to for free, and any limitations that may apply. Please be aware that from September the 1st 2007 all callers to 070xx numbers costing 20p or more to call will automatically be played a recorded message at the start of the call explaining that they have called a Personal Number and giving them an indication of the cost of the call.

| Free For Life 070059 ("K-Rate - World Mobile") dmNumbers: | ||
070059 numbers are very similar to 070058 numbers: Subject to the Free For Life usage policy, they are totally free to setup (unless you opt for a Gold number) and there is no monthly rental charge. However, callers are charged at BT's more expensive "K" Rates (10.63ppm at Weekends, 21.27 during the evening, and 31.91ppm during the day*). What makes them particularly useful is that not only are diversions to UK landlines and up to 180 international destinations completely free, but also diversions to most UK mobiles are completely free too. Coupled with the sophisticated features offered by all our dmNumbers, this makes them a true "follow me" number that you can use to allow people to keep in touch with you no matter where you are. Please click here for details on where you can divert to for free, and any limitations that may apply. Please be aware that from September the 1st 2007 all callers to 070xx numbers costing 20p or more to call will automatically be played a recorded message at the start of the call explaining that they have called a Personal Number and giving them an indication of the cost of the call.

* These prices are the standard, non-discounted BT business call charges from a standard BT business line and were correct as of 17/01/07 and exclude VAT. Exactly how much a caller will be charged when calling an NGN number depends on the company they get their telephone bills from and whether they are calling from a normal landline, a mobile or from outside of the UK. In addition, any call discounts or inclusive call allowances included in a caller's line rental or telephone call package do not necessarily apply to calls to NGN numbers.
