0800 cost to call.

An 0800 number is free for the caller at all times when calling from a UK landline. Calls to 0800 numbers are chargeable on certain mobile networks. In some instances the user of the 0800 number can also be charged.

Low call rates.

0844 numbers are charged at up to five pence per minute at all times (certain ranges are charged at either 3, 4 or 5 pence). This is defined as a low call rate because callers pay much more to call other number ranges including mobile, landline or premium rate numbers. After free phone numbers, low call numbers are the cheapest for the caller.

0844 cost to call.

0844 numbers cost up to five pence per minute at all times. The rate remains the same no matter what time of day they are called. These numbers are classed as low call rate numbers and are cheaper for the caller than national rate numbers or premium rate 0870 or 0871 numbers. Ofcom have stated 0844 numbers are not to be affected by any planned 08 changes.

0845 cost to call, local call rate charge.

0845 numbers are charged at a local rate, which is 3.4p peak rate, 1.7p evening & 0.6p on weekends. This is the same rate that many callers pay for landline calls which have come down in price since pre-deregulation.

0870 cost to call.

0870 calls are charged at 6.7p at peak time, 3.4p evenings & 1.7p on weekends. Calls are charged at a national rate for peak calls. This is the rate that everyone used to pay for a national rate calls pre-deregulation. Some still pay these rates now to call nationally.

National Rate 08 numbers

Since the changes to Ofcom legislation on 0870 numbers in 2009 businesses now have to pay up to five pence per minute to continue the service on these numbers. In the future calls to these numbers will be charged at the same rate as 01, 02 & 03 numbers. We are now recommending 0871 numbers as an alternative to 0870 for those wanting a free number that can still earn premium rate revenue share.
