About Wiki 0844 numbers
Welcome to Wiki 0844 Numbers! Wiki is a word that we now use every day without thinking about, but what does it actually mean? It is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick" or "fast", which is the service you should get when receiving either 0844 or 0800 phone numbers.
Any reputable company should be able to connect up 0844 or 0800 numbers for you within an hour during normal working time.
We also aim to be as quick and fast as those telephone number providers should be when you have a question for us, so get in touch with us using our Contact Us page and we'll try to get back to you as speedily as we possibly can! Wiki is also an acronym for "What I Know Is" and what we know is telecommunications, 0800 numbers and the 0844 number marketplace.
0844 numbers charge customers around 5p per minute when they call it from a UK landline, and the owner of the 0844 number receives 1p rebate per minute on every call made to that number. Therefore, the more calls you receive and the longer they last, the more money you get back.
0800 numbers are freephone numbers if they are called from a UK landline. The caller doesn't pay to make the call, with the charge instead going to the owner of the number. These numbers have been proven to increase calls to a business, because people trust 0800 numbers and are not put off by the worry of having a large phone bill at the end of it.
Both 0800 and 0844 numbers are non-geographic numbers, meaning they are not linked to any specific town or area.
This site was created to put in one place information about the history and development of 0844 numbers, freephone 0800 numbers, and telecommunications in general in the UK. We have tried to bring together all the key information, taking out the boring technical details and leaving just the juicy facts which it might be quite fun and handy to know, even if it is only for pub quizzes! However, if you feel that we have cut too deep and have omitted something important that you would desperately like to see in there then let us know!
