Charities Club
Enjoy free benefits if you’re a registered charity, including a dedicated BT Service Manager to take ownership of your account, round-the-clock support every day of the year to keep you connected to your callers, and reduced advanced features costs.
Optional extras
Call routing
Added flexibility to route your calls based on the time of day, geographic location and how busy the number is. The cost of our call routing service varies, so call us on 0800 808 800 to get a quote.
Call management
Harness the power of your call data with Inbound Analyst or Inbound Architect, our advanced call management tools. Inbound Analyst is a management reporting tool that allows you to evaluate your incoming call data. It’s free for numbers with over one million minutes of yearly call traffic, otherwise a quarterly charge will apply. Inbound Architect is a web-based portal that gives you access to our reporting and call routing control products so you can monitor and fine-tune your service almost in real-time.
Inbound call recording
An end-to-end service that’s easy to implement without any extra equipment. Built into your phone number itself, it’s simple to add call recording, with a user-friendly portal that allows you to find recordings quickly. Secure and robust, all of our recordings are encrypted with the ability to monitor who accesses your data. Never worry about losing important data again with our Inbound Vault, where you can store calls for more than 10 years.
FAQs
Do you have a number I can use even if my business changes location?
Yes, all of our business phone numbers are designed to be flexible, so your service won’t be interrupted if your business moves. Your number can go wherever you do, because it’s not tied to your area.
I want to generate revenue when my customers call. Do you have a number for that?
With 0971 and 09 numbers, you can generate revenue on every call. Premium-rate 09 numbers are charged to customers at a higher rate than a standard call, giving you a better return. With 0871 numbers, you can choose what the split is between how much you pay per minute and how much your customer pays.
I’m just starting my business and don’t want to pay for call charges. Can I do that?
Yes, by choosing an 0844 number (charged to the caller at 5p per minute) or an 0871 number (charged to the caller at 6p per minute ex VAT), you won't incur any call charges.
Do you have a number I can advertise in other countries?
Yes – just choose one of our International and Universal Freefone numbers.
Do I need another line to have one of these business numbers?
No, you don’t need another BT line to get a telemarketing number. The number you choose is fixed, meaning that even if your business moves, your number will still remain the same and your customers can always reach you.
I don’t want to receive all calls in one department. Can I route some calls elsewhere?
Once you’ve chosen your BT business number, you can add on as many call routing services as you want. You can choose to route calls to different locations depending on the time of day, or divert calls to another place if your main location is too busy.
How many services can I add to my BT number?
You can add as many services as you need to your BT number. The cost per additional service depends on how many calls your business receives per year.
