Why do companies use an 088 number?
Edited
088 numbers are issued in series of 100, 1,000, or even 10,000. They are therefore ideal for organizations with many phones (read: employees).
Because 088 numbers are not associated with a specific city or region, the organization creates a national image with them. This lowers the barriers for callers from all over the country.
The calling costs for 088 numbers are low: just as low as calls to fixed, geographic numbers. This can be more pleasant for callers than a 0900 number, which is more expensive.
