In this article, Core Telecom explores how its cost-free 03 Number service helps housing associations save significantly on telecommunication expenses, enabling them to allocate more resources towards providing secure and affordable housing
Housing associations play an important role in the UK, providing secure and affordable housing for millions. With roughly 6 million residents – nearly 10% of the population – effective communication is necessary.
Timely and consistent updates are essential to streamline processes, optimise resource allocation, and promptly address resident concerns.
While there are various communication channels available, telecommunication stands out as the most effective, particularly for reaching the elderly population.
However, telecommunication in the UK is not cheap. A significant portion of the budget is allocated to telecommunication expenses, funds that could otherwise be used to focus on the mission of Housing Associations.
But we have a solution for such Housing Associations and other charitable organisations.
What Core Telecom brings to the table
Core Telecom is a global telecommunications network provider, currently supporting over 500 UK charities and non-for-profit organisations providing them with a 100% free of charge 03 Number service.
This means no rental costs and more importantly no incoming call charges.
How it works?
If you already have a 03 number, you can simply port over to our network where we will host your current number for free and waive all your incoming call charges. The porting process is seamless and there is no disruption to your phone service.
However, if you don’t have a 03-contact phone number, we will provide a 03 number and set this up for you free of charge.
Big and small, we help them all
We have donated numbers to more than 20 housing associations. Our impact has been substantial, saving these organisations over £80,000 in their budgets. Here’s what Muir Group, a prominent Housing Association, has to say about us:
“We have made substantial savings due to Core Telecom’s kind offer to host our 03-contact number. The process of moving the number from our previous supplier was seamless with no disruption to service. The service and support we have received from Core Telecom has been 1st Class.”
No matter the size of your organisation, we are here to solve your telecommunication problems.
Let Core Telecom help your housing association save on telecommunication costs so you can allocate more resources to your primary mission of providing secure and affordable housing.
