Freephone Mobile Voice Short Code Service Launched
by keith
A “Freephone” Mobile Voice Short Code (MVSC) service has been deployed across all mobile networks to offer a number of benefits to businesses including a mobile friendly alternative to traditional Freephone numbers to further encourage two-way communication with customers.
Until now, using a mobile to call a traditional Freephone number, such as those starting with 08 , meant having to pay up to 46 pence per minute for the call, now Channel Islands based telecommunications company, JT , has introduced the first working five digit voice short-code number which is free of charge to mobile callers and works on all networks.
JT’s MVSCs will be welcomed by those businesses that wish to offer Freephone facilities to their customers as part of their marketing strategy. In 2011 Ofcom reported that 48% of mobile callers believe it is the company they are calling that is responsible for setting the charges of the call so if the calls are free this reflects well.
