0300 FAQs
0300 number FAQs
Common questions about 0300 number eligibility and use. Don't see yours? Let's talk.
Who can use an 0300 number?+
0300 numbers are restricted to the public sector, charities and not-for-profit organisations. We'll verify your eligibility before allocating a number, talk to our team to get started.
What does it cost to call an 0300 number?+
No more than a national-rate call to an 01 / 02 number, and counted toward inclusive minutes the same way. This applies from every kind of line.
What's the difference between 0300 and 0345 / 0333?+
All three are 03 numbers and cost the same to call. 0300 is reserved for non-commercial bodies; 0345 and 0333 are open to any UK organisation. The signal to your caller is different, 0300 reads as 'public sector / charity', the others as 'national business'.
Can I keep my existing 0300 number?+
Yes. We port 0300 numbers from most other UK providers. Start a port and we'll handle the paperwork end-to-end.
Can I have multiple 0300 numbers?+
Yes, many of our public-sector customers run several for different campaigns or services. The Value plan covers multiple numbers under a fixed monthly fee.
