Gain a Competitive Advantage with an 03 Telephone Number
With the PSTN switch-off coming into effect, businesses across the UK are reassessing how they handle inbound calls, and many are taking the opportunity to upgrade to a smarter, more flexible solution at the same time.
For businesses operating across multiple locations, or those that simply want to project a national presence, geographic 01 and 02 numbers can work against you. They tie your brand to a particular location, can make your business appear smaller than it is, and offer little flexibility as you grow.
0333, 0330 and 0300 numbers solve this. They give your business a single, national point of contact and cost callers no more than a local landline call, so customers are never put off by the cost of getting in touch.

Customer Reviews
“When we looked at our existing suppliers, side-by-side, Elite Group stood out as the provider who looked after our needs the best. Elite Group were always available to speak with when we contacted them, ready to offer advice, and we had access to a dedicated account manager who ensured our needs were always being met. It made sense that we would look to shift all communications to them.”
“Due to my technology background, I immediately knew that our existing telephony system was not fit for purpose, especially during the stresses of the current pandemic. It was a high priority to support our staff and our customers with the demands of the new way of working. We needed a system that we could use onsite, on the go and from home, which we could manage ourselves, but still have support on hand.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost callers to call 03 numbers?
Calls to 03 numbers are charged at the same rate as calls to standard geographic landlines, whether dialled from a landline or a mobile. All major UK network operators include calls to 03 numbers within their standard inclusive minutes bundles, so callers are never caught out by unexpected charges.
What is the difference between 0300 and 0333 numbers?
All 03 numbers are charged at the same rate. However, Ofcom has designated 0300 numbers exclusively for use by UK government departments, registered charities and not-for-profit organisations. 0333 numbers are available to any business or organisation and are the most common choice for commercial use.
How long does porting take?
Our dedicated porting team will guide you through the documentation required for a smooth and timely transfer. Porting timescales are generally within 20 working days from acceptance by all parties, and we will keep you informed throughout the process.
How do I build and implement disaster recovery?
Our inbound specialists will work alongside you to understand your business requirements and build a tailored disaster recovery plan to meet them. When you need to activate it, the pre-built routing scenario can be switched on in just a few clicks via our secure online portal. Speak to us about our Maintenance & Support service today.
Can I keep my existing number if I switch to Elite Group?
Yes. We can port your existing 03 number across to our platform, so you do not need to change the number your customers already know. Our porting team will manage the process end-to-end and keep disruption to an absolute minimum.
Can I use an 03 number with my existing phone system?
In most cases, yes. 03 numbers are compatible with a wide range of existing telephony setups, including VoIP and cloud-based systems. Our team will assess your current infrastructure and confirm compatibility before any changes are made.
What is the difference between an 03 number and a freephone 0800 number?
The key difference is who pays for the call. With a freephone 0800 number, the business receiving the call bears the cost. With an 03 number, the caller pays, but calls are charged at no more than the national rate, which is included in most UK inclusive minutes bundles. For most businesses, an 03 number strikes the right balance between accessibility and cost. Similarly, unlike local telephone numbers such as 01 and 02 numbers, 03 numbers are not tied to a specific geographic area, making them suitable for businesses operating nationally.
Can I us 03 numbers as mobile numbers?
Yes. Your 03 number can be routed to any device, including mobile phones, via our call management platform. This makes it straightforward to stay reachable whether your team is in the office, working remotely or out on the road.
