1. Your customers call you at local rate from anywhere in the UK.
2. You get a better response from your advertising - potentially by as much as 50% (source: The Henley Centre).
3. 0845 numbers show you are committed to customer care and they enhance your professional image.
4. You can relocate your business without having to change your phone number.
5. You can market your company nationally, or in areas in which you have no physical presence, whilst maintaining a local identity.

0845 numbers are ideal for customer helplines and used increasingly in advertising to increase response rates, there is a lower risk of misuse compared to freephone numbers, where customers are not required to pay for the call. Not surprisingly, there has been a vast rise in the volume of UK special rate numbers, from 138,000 in 1998 to a predicted 254,000 by 2002 - an increase of 84 per cent. Despite this growth, the country is still way behind the USA where these numbers have been an integral part of America's business culture for some time now with more than ten million numbers in operation.
