International Toll Free Numbers By 08UK
08UK provides international toll-free numbers (ITFS) for UK businesses looking to expand globally.
Call us now on 0800 692 7000 and establish a local presence in over 100 countries with all calls routed directly to your UK office or mobile.
Expanding your business internationally is challenging. Customers in the USA, France,
Germany, or Australia are often reluctant to dial a UK +44 number. They fear high international call charges, they worry about time zones, and they inherently trust local businesses more than overseas suppliers.
An International Toll-Free Number (ITFS) solves all of these problems instantly. By providing a toll-free number that is native to your target country (such as a 1-800 number in the USA or an 0800 number in France), you remove the cost barrier and present your business as an established, local operation.
When an overseas customer dials your international toll-free number, the call is instantly and seamlessly routed over 08UK’s Tier 1 carrier network directly to your UK office, call centre, or mobile phone. The caller pays nothing, and you pay a simple per-minute rate to receive the call.
08UK has been providing international inbound voice solutions for 19 years. We supply toll-free and geographic numbers for over 100 countries worldwide. Whether you need a single US toll-free number or a comprehensive global inbound voice network, we have the carrier relationships and the technical expertise to deliver crystal-clear call quality across borders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an International Toll-Free Number (ITFS)?
A: An ITFS is a phone number that is free for callers in a specific country to dial, but the calls are routed internationally to a destination in another country. For example, a UK business can have a US 1-800 number; US customers call it for free, and the call rings in the UK office.
Q: Which countries can I get a toll-free number for?
A: 08UK can provide toll-free and geographic numbers for over 100 countries worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Australia, and the UAE. Call 0800 692 7000 to check availability for your target markets.
Q: How much does it cost to receive international calls?
A: You pay a per-minute rate to receive calls on your international toll-free number. The rate depends on the country the call originates from and where it is being routed to. Our rates are highly competitive — call us for a specific quote.
Q: Can I route international calls to my mobile?
A: Yes. International toll-free calls can be routed to any UK landline, mobile, VoIP system, or contact centre.
Q: Can I use an AI receptionist for international calls?
A: Yes. 08UK can deploy a bespoke AI virtual receptionist to answer your international calls 24/7. This is particularly useful for handling calls from different time zones when your UK office is closed.
