Even if we are in the age of social networking and making a call from your phone is still in many situation the only way by which things can be done, though we have the facility of sending text message. Through a phone call you can hold a real conversation that isn't possible texting.
Generally cost is only factor for which people generally try and avoid making a phone call and using the texting facility instead. If the issue to be informed is lengthy and complicated then you are more likely to opt for messaging rather than calling just to save the money, but sometime that can lead to more confusion and complicacy. This is primarily the factor that leads to their popularity..
The immediate question that is generally asked by any person when they notice a 0800 number is that who is the person that pays the bill for the call made. The answer is that in maximum cases it will be paid by the one receiving the call from a 0800 number rather than the one making a call, just opposite to the normal tariff plan. The person making the call isn't charged a penny.
Companies mainly those incorporated for charity purposes will have such a number for a certain reason. The people who will generally call a charity can be assumed to be unable to afford the cost of making a call and thus these sorts of institutions have a 0800 number. Another type of organizations that generally use such facility is the help lines. They avail of the 0800 number facility because it will be unfair to charge a person who calls for fixing a fault of the company. The emergency numbers also use the 0800 prefix so that a person in time of emergency can call these without any hindrance.
You can get easily avail them for your own personal phone line. Though first what you need is to calculate the benefits of this service for you, if you are having a family who desperately need to make a call to you but are unable to spare required money, for example, if a relative gets ill, then it may be a great idea.
