FAQ’s
Why are your numbers Organic?
Our numbers are organic due to the zero carbon foot print that our numbers produce.
We carefully monitor our emissions and have a green policy that we aim to carry
out.
Why should I use an organic local number?
Organic Local numbers are the cream of the crop! If you are a business that wants
to show that you offer a local service but don’t have a phone number in the local
area then this is the service for you. This facility will allow you to have a presence
in a local phone exchange without the need for an office. With our local numbers
you can advertise a number in a UK STD and have the call routed back to your existing
landline or mobile. It’s a common fact that people buy from local people and now
it couldn’t be easier to make your business look local. Our local numbers can be
pointed to any UK landline or mobile and comes with all the benefits of monthly
call statements. If you move location then don’t worry we can change where your
number is pointed to in a few clicks.
How will my number reach me?
We build your number to point to your existing landline or mobile phone (we can
even point them internationally if necessary). If someone then calls your new number
it will be pointed to your existing phone lines. People can still call you on your
landline or mobile as our service works in parallel with your existing numbers.
Organic food in the shops is expensive – is this the case for your numbers?
Not at all! Our organic numbers are priced competitively to encourage customers
to our service. We will never be the cheapest number supplier but you will receive
a quality service with the knowledge that your purchase will not damage the environment.
If you have ever purchased organic chicken you will never go back to factory chicken
(the taste is far too good!). The same rule applies to our numbers (once you start
using us you will never go back).
What is your contract term for numbers?
We are so confident that our service is reliable and competitive that we only require
30 days notice for you to close down your account. You will need to
email us to confirm that you wish to close down the number.
How quickly can I get my Organic number live?
Please note that organic local numbers can take up to 5 working days to be assigned.
We generally say that if you place an order for an 0800, 0844 or 0845 number on
Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm we will have it connected in 60 minutes.
How do I change where my number is pointed to?
All you have to do is call us or use our
online request to make the change. The change takes place immediately and
we only charge a one off fee of £5 for this change to be made.
How much are your numbers?
Full details of our charges are prominently displayed on the relevant pages of our
site.
We bill by the second and do not hide any fees or call connection rates (watch out
for these hidden nasties from some of our competitors).
When can I expect to get my invoice and how do I pay you?
Our invoices are always sent out in the 1st week of every month (remember these
are sent out by email to help the environment). Payment is made using our Direct
Debit facility 14 days after you have received your bill. This saves you having
to write cheques and use envelopes and is again Carbon Neutral.
I am looking for a particular number that is more memorable – what shall I do?
We only put a selection of our home grown numbers on the site as too many would
make it difficult to choose from. If you have a particular requirement or would
like a more memorable number please feel free to contact us.
How will I know if someone has called my existing line or my number?
We can build a service called call whisper. This will play a message to you when
you pick up the phone. The message will generally say “this is a call from your
XXXX number” but we can record any message you wish. This service only costs £5
to set up and £5 per month rental. Contact us to order
or speak to someone for more assistance.
Will your bills show me people who have called me?
Our invoices are very comprehensive. We will show you the time and date of every
call received. We will also show you the number of the person who called you (provided
that they haven’t withheld their number). We itemise all calls to the second and
wrap this up in an invoice with graphs and pie charts which will help you monitor
the success of your number.
Can I route my number to a Skype or VOIP number?
Yes, Skype or VOIP will be charged the same as a landline
