[service title=”Non Geographic numbers regulation” icon=”call-recording-laws-icon” cta_1_link=”#callback”]You need to be aware of the recent changes to UK Regulation relating to Non-geographic numbers. In 2014, the law changed to forbid the use of premium rate non-geographic numbers (such as 084, 087 or 09) for any type of after sales support or service. Whilst you can still use these numbers, you must ensure that the caller pays no more than a local, or basic, rate for the call. The most straightforward way of adhering to this change is to provide a local rate number, such as those starting with 01, 02 or 03 for these type of calls.[/service]
