## Costs of 01 & 02 Local Area Numbers

There are a few possible charges for the basic call forwarding on 01 and 02 Local Numbers with dmConnect.

dmConnect: (the fee for the call forwarding service)
The first cost is the cost of the forwarding service, this service is called dmConnect and it allows you to forward your calls to your existing phones / mobiles. You can log on and change which phone your calls get forwarded to anytime.
This is charged at 3 pounds per month. (6 months min)

Call Rates: (the fee for usage of the call forwarding service)
This is the daytime peak rate to a landline phone that you will be charged for calls. You can reduce your call rates by upgrading your call plan (see pricing below)
The Bas rate is 1.25 pence per minute and varies accordingly, see prices for call plans below. VoIP is usually free!

Gold Number fee: (once off fee for the number)
The second charge possible is a once off fee for a memorable number, these numbers are worth more as the have numbers that repeat themselves like "44444" etc or they spell out words on the phone keypad. You do not have to pay a gold number fee if you are not fussy about the number you would like. Gold numbers are recommended for companies that are advertising and trying to attract higher sales.
The fee is charged one off.

## Tips on choosing the right number

To find a UK phone number, enter any special sequences you would like, then pick a price band and press 'search'. Alternatively, browse through the selection of numbers above. Click on a number to add it to your order.

Take your time looking at all the numbers on offer. Scroll through the listings. Compile a short-list. Read the numbers aloud to see how they sound. Ask a friend or colleague for their thoughts.

Choose a number that reflects your company. The most memorable numbers project the best professional image. If you want an even better number, see our gold numbers.

Think about business-related words. Most phone keypads have letters alongside the numbers. Using these is a fun way to advertise that's especially popular in the United States. For example, a photographer may want a number that spells PHOTO (contains 74686). Our number chooser can search for words, as well as digits.

Look for consecutive numbers. If you want more than one number (eg a voice number and a fax number), then buy two numbers that follow in sequence (eg the first ends with '1' the second with '2'). If this might be an option in the future, ask us to reserve the other numbers for you. Call us on 020 7060 2000.

Consider number sequences you use already: You may find a number that's very similar to your existing one. For example, If your number ends with 5243, then look for an UK virtual number that ends the same way.

Try to choose a memorable number. If you want something catchy, such as number featuring repeated sequences of digits (eg Berwick-on-Tweed 4545 5000) go straight to our gold numbers page.
