frequently asked questions about an 085 number

What is a 085 number?

A 085 number is a phone number made up of 10 digits and is not linked to a specific region in the Netherlands. With this area code, you give your business a national image. These numbers are ideal for entrepreneurs working across the country and offer several benefits, including the fact that callers don’t pay any extra call charges or connection fees.


How does calling with a 085 number work?

With a number from Rinkel, you make and receive calls using your business number, right on your mobile, laptop or desk phone. For your caller, it looks just like any other landline number: professional and reliable.


Why choose a 085 number?

A 085 number gives your business a national image. Perfect if you have customers across the Netherlands and don’t want to be tied to one region. You come across as professional and keep work and personal separate.


How much does an 085 number cost?

You can get a number from just €9.00 per month and your first number is free with your plan. No hidden costs or surprises. With Rinkel, you can choose from hundreds of numbers with the 085 area code. Just like that.

What is the difference between 085 and 088 numbers?
