Telephone Trader Account

The Telephone Trader account is suited to those who prefer to place deals in person rather than electronically via the Internet. You’ll always be promptly greeted on the phone by one of our friendly and experienced staff, whether you’re calling to place a trade or simply with an account query. What’s more, because you have a dedicated Freephone number for all your account requirements you won’t pay a penny for your calls.

With the Telephone Trader account you can choose to deal either at the live, real-time price, or by placing a ‘limit order’. A limit order is simply a way to specify the minimum price you want for shares you are selling, or the maximum price you wish to pay for shares you are buying.

When you set a limit order we’ll monitor the stock market for you and deal your order as soon as your price can be met, or even bettered. And you can choose for your limit order to remain valid for up to one month! You can also operate this account within a tax efficient ISA wrapper (click here for details).

What’s more, you’ll receive your first trade and every tenth trade for free. That’s right, you won’t pay any dealing charges on your first trade and every tenth trade thereafter! This is an offer we believe you won’t find anywhere else. And whilst you will have to pay stamp duty, and for trades over £10,000, PTM levy, to the government on these trades, we will re-credit your account with our dealing charges at the end of the day on which you make the trade.

One easy-to-remember number for all your account needs

You can deal and manage your account over the phone with ease and confidence simply by calling the dedicated Freephone number; 0800 SHARES.

The purpose of the alpha dial number is simply to make it easier to remember. If you haven’t come across alpha dial numbers, the idea is that the word SHARES spells out the last six digits of the phone number. Just have a look at your telephone and you’ll see that the numbers you use to dial each contain a series of letters. If you dial 0800 followed by the letters S-H-A-R-E-S you’ll see that you are actually dialling 0800 7-4-2-7-3-7.

You can call the Customer Services Team either to make a trade or simply with an account query at a time that’s right for you. We are able to take your calls from 8:00 am to 6:00pm Monday to Friday. Just dial 0800 742 737.

One simple and low cost pricing structure

At 0800 SHARES we aim to offer you the lowest possible prices but without compromising the standard of our service. The Telephone Trader Account has a simple pricing structure where the charge is fixed solely according to the value of your transaction. This way you’ll always know exactly how much each trade will cost you.

The tariff for the Telephone Trader Account is as follows:

£0 - £2,500 = £17.50
£2,501 - £5,000 = £30
£5,001 - £10,000 = £40
£10,001 - £60,000 = £60
£60,000 plus = £80
