Smart entrepreneurs hop on the bandwagon en profit from the many beautiful numbers series that are currently still available. You can even register a 088 name number.<\/p>\n

Call costs<\/h2>\n

For you as a company it\u2019s the opposite: a 0800 number is the most expensive because the calling costs are for you.
