Providers pay more to receive calls to 0800 numbers though don't they? That's why I think 0333 is going to be so popular in the increasingly mobile world - an NGN that's cheap to call from mobiles and which can be run with no inbound call charges for the company. What other NGN does that?

If the reciever of the call wants to help people calling from mobiles ,all they have to do is publish their 01/02 geographical number.Their is no need for them to get a 03 no which will incur them with inbound call call charges.(Unless they need advanced facilities ).

Do you have some connection with the company you are promoting?

They’ve been around for a few years now but what are 03 numbers and will you pay more to call them?
Ofcom first introduced UK-wide 03 numbers in 2007 as an alternative to chargeable 08 numbers, such as 0870.
These new numbers allow organisations to have a single national point of contact without consumers having to pay extra to call them.
Revenue sharing

Calls to 03 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to an 01 or 02 number and must count towards any inclusive minutes in the same way as 01 and 02 calls.

These rules apply to calls from any type of line including mobile, BT, other fixed line or payphone
Revenue sharing – where the dialled party can receive a share of what the consumer pays to make a call – is also not allowed on calls to 03 numbers.

No revenue sharing is not allowed,and nothing in this thread suggests otherwise,in fact as i have said before the reciever of the calls pays to recieve them.

You appear to have duplicated your post.;)
