Businesses can select a phoneword that most closely matches their business activity and use it as a customer number for example 800-my business. The choice of the name means that it is a much easy-to-remember prompt for customers, and removes the need to memorise a certain number; as well as providing increased visibility to the brand by making the name easily recognisable and distinguishable over that of competitors.
As part of the national 800 service, businesses will be offered significant cost savings on their bills, by only paying by the second for incoming calls.

Combined with the power of per second billing, we are confident our new service will give our businesses a truly exceptional competitive advantage.
