A non-geographic 03 number gives your business a single national presence that is not tied to any city or region. Numbers such as 0300, 0330, 0343 and 0370 work anywhere in the country and are charged to callers at the same standard rate as a normal 01 or 02 landline call — including from inclusive mobile and landline minutes. Like every FreeVoIP number, your 03 number is delivered over IP to your FreeVoIP account, so you can route it to any handset, team or menu and take it with you wherever you are based. What is included: - 03 non-geographic numbers (0300, 0330, 0343, 0370 and more) - Charged to callers at standard geographic rates — never premium - Full IVR, call queues and intelligent routing - Voicemail-to-email and out-of-hours handling - Simultaneous or failover routing to any destination Why choose 03: An 03 number gives you a professional, nationwide identity without implying a single location, and unlike 084 and 087 numbers it costs your callers no more than a standard call. It is the modern, customer-friendly choice for a national contact number. Complete your setup: Pair a non-geographic number with local DID numbers, an 0800 FreeFone number and a FreeVoIP SIP account for a complete inbound and outbound phone system. Backed by Transcom: Non-geographic numbers run on Transcom's UK carrier-grade network, a telecoms provider keeping British businesses connected since 1993.
Transcom Dropcatch is a professional online dropcatching platform for expiring .uk, .co.uk, .org.uk and .me.uk domains registered with Nominet. The Free Access plan lets anyone submit and monitor catches with no upfront fees and no submission limits — you pay only when a domain is successfully caught. Built and operated from Brighton since 1993. Pay only on a catch: There are no submission fees, no listing fees, no minimum quantities and no contract. You submit the domains you want, the system monitors them live, and you're only charged if and when a catch succeeds. Pricing is per successful catch by mode: - Fast — £10 + VAT — quick catches across the standard drop. - Multi — £25 + VAT — unlimited submissions, any quantity, for any domain except high-value premium names. - Single — £50 + VAT — full dedicated resources for premium and hard-to-catch names such as short/3-character domains. How it works: - Simple two-line registration — your username can be anything, but for consistency use your Nominet IPS TAG or Acorn account if you have one. - You don't need to be a Nominet TAG holder to use the service. - Submission is fully automatic — the system inserts the expiry and drop dates and allocates resources, filtering out any domains not in the expired window. - Status updates are live — when a domain is caught, a FastPay link appears next to the result with payment options. - Every result shows which system cluster made the catch (CAUGHT-XX), so you can see the engine behind each win. Precision catching technology: The platform uses real-time Nominet drop monitoring, pre-warmed sockets and NTP-synced precision firing over the EPP/DAC process, run from fast, low-RTT infrastructure close to the Nominet backend. This is the same proven engine that powers Transcom's leased and owned dropcatch products. Caught a domain — then what: - Caught domains appear in your records and in the public Just Caught list (unless you prefer to keep them private). - List caught domains for sale on the integrated auction site with no listing fees. - Leave the domain on Transcom's TAG with renewal at current rates, or transfer it out to your own TAG. - Optional RDHE add-on (£10 + VAT per year) provides Registration, Hosting and Email for new domains — instant DNS, a holding page and catch-all email with webmail, IMAP and SMTP, or forwarding to an existing address. Integrated live auctions: The service includes its own live auction facility — submit and bid on domains of any TLD, with no listing fees and no limit on submissions. Sell your caught domains or pick up others' directly through the platform. For heavier or self-run catching: If you run your own dropcatch setup or own Transcom's software, dedicated multi-core server resources can be allocated for premium, hard-to-catch names. Leased and owned engine options are also available for those who want to catch under their own TAG and settle with Nominet directly at preferential rates. Free to start: no card needed to register and submit. You only ever pay on a successful catch — making it a genuinely no-risk way to chase expiring UK domains.
The Legacy Engine is a one-time purchase of the Transcom dropcatch software outright — your own licensed copy of the engine to install and run on your own Linux server, catching dropping domains from any registrar that uses the EPP / DAC XML process. £445 one-time. What the software does: The engine catches dropping domain names from registrars using the EPP / DAC XML process — around 80 countries operate one. The configuration file comes pre-configured with Nominet parameters, making it ready to use straight away for any Nominet registrar. Once you own it, there are no monthly fees — you run it on your own infrastructure under your own TAG. Modern time-release engine: The current software is a complete rewrite for Nominet's time-release drop process (introduced September 2022), while remaining compatible with the older DAC/EPP method. Key features: - Multiple non-blocking EPP sockets — all scripts run multi-socket and non-blocking. - A proprietary algorithm that streams EPP writes in blocks for tighter timing. - Seven chronological result points to help you judge the best moment to send EPP creates. - Latency computation displayed on the login screen. - Post-check registration — register a name if the catch timing missed the slot but the domain became available. How you run it: - Requires PHP 7.4.x with the server set to UTC/Zulu time (all drop times are in Zulu). - run.php — single domain, non-blocking mode. - robin.php — round-robin mode, multiple domains read from a flatfile list, fully automated. - Several additional utilities are provided, plus nightly Nominet droplist downloads. Own it outright: Install via SSH on your own Linux server using your EPP password, Account ID and licence key. Existing SSH-software owners can upgrade to the new engine. A one-time purchase with no recurring fees — settle caught domains with Nominet directly at your own registrar rate. Leased options are also available if you'd prefer not to buy.
Received a toxic, persistently annoying or criminally actionable email? The Email Forensic Report compiles a complete evidence report from the message's headers and metadata — tracing where it really came from, how it was sent, and whether it has been spoofed or forged. £7 per report, delivered by email. What we examine: - Full header trace — every routing hop the message passed through, in order. - True originating IP address and geographic location of the genuine sender. - Spoofing and forgery techniques used to disguise the real source. - Sender authentication results — SPF, DKIM and DMARC checks. - From / Reply-To / Return-Path consistency and any mismatches. - Indicators of phishing, impersonation or automated/bulk origin. What you receive: A complete evidence report detailing all routing hops, any spoofing tricks employed, the true sender IP and full location — written so it stands as evidence. The report is structured to be admissible, making it suitable for use in disputes, complaints to providers, or onward action. How to use it: - Identify the real source behind an anonymous or spoofed message. - Support a complaint to an ISP, employer, platform or the authorities. - Establish an evidence trail for harassment, fraud or threatening emails. You forward us the email in question; we analyse the raw headers and metadata and return the full forensic report by email.
MxGuard Business is a cloud-delivered, hybrid-AI email security gateway that stops spam, phishing, malware and business-email-compromise before they ever reach your inbox. Point your domain's MX record at MxGuard and every inbound message is scored, sorted and forwarded on to your real mail server — with a single web console to manage everything. £16.99 per domain per month, with 25 mailboxes included. How it works: MxGuard sits in front of your existing mail server. A gradient-boosted machine-learning classifier scores the easy 95% of mail in milliseconds. The borderline messages — the ones that matter most — are handed to Claude, Anthropic's large language model, which reads them the way a person would before a verdict is reached. Every verdict comes with a plain-English reason, so you can always see exactly why a message was tagged, quarantined or rejected. Why old filters fail and MxGuard doesn't: Rule-based and Bayesian filters were built for an era of obvious spam. They miss the carefully written, well-targeted attacks: CEO impersonation, invoice redirection, gift-card fraud, lookalike domains and AI-written phishing with perfect grammar. These payload-free attacks sail past legacy filters — and they are exactly where MxGuard's LLM layer is strongest. What MxGuard stops: - Phishing — credential-harvest pages, fake login flows and OAuth-consent traps. - BEC and impersonation — CEO fraud, invoice redirection, supplier impersonation, gift-card scams. - Malware and ransomware — ClamAV scans every attachment, including archives; macro-bearing Office docs and HTML smuggling scored heavily. - Bulk spam and UCE — classic spam, snowshoe and hailstorm campaigns, with near-zero false positives on legitimate bulk mail. - Lookalike domains — homoglyph attacks, doubled letters and ccTLD swaps, checked at envelope, From header and reply-to. - Backscatter and spoofing — SPF/DKIM/DMARC enforcement plus ARC sealing through forwarding. Included on every domain: - ML-based threat scoring with sub-5ms decisions. - Claude LLM evaluation on uncertain mail, with transparent written verdicts. - Real-time live feed dashboard showing mail as it's processed. - Daily digest emails with one-click release and block actions. - Allow / block rules with hit tracking. - URIBL, Spamhaus and URLhaus threat feeds. - ClamAV attachment scanning. - ARC sealing for forwarded mail. - Self-service domain management — no support tickets needed. - 30-day quarantine retention. - 25 mailboxes included (add packs of 25 for more). - Active-active high availability across two UK gateways (mx1 + mx2). No hardware, no installs, no capital cost: MxGuard runs in our UK-based cloud. There's nothing to deploy on your premises, no agents to install and no firewall rules to add. Most customers are live within a working day. Subscription pricing means no up-front investment and no surprise upgrade costs. UK-hosted and GDPR-aligned: Your mail data is processed and stored in the UK. Month-to-month billing with no minimum contract, no setup fees and no annual lock-in. 10% off on annual prepay. Migrating from eFa? eFa reaches end-of-life in July 2026. MxGuard is a direct replacement that runs in the same MX-fronting role with modern detection. We import your existing allow/block lists and provide guided cutover assistance free of charge — most migrations complete inside two days.
