Cost to Call Charge 08 Number Minute

Cost to call 0844 numbers are charged at the same 'low call rate' of between 0 to 7p ( so either 0p, 1p, 2p, 3p, 4p, 5p, 6p or 7p/min) at all times from all networks (plus the networks access charge).

Mobile callers using EE or Vodafone or 02 or 3 networks are also charged an access charge per minute when calling 08 or 09 numbers, this access charge is applied in addition to the up to 7p/min 08 rate, this is charged on a per minute rate (45p is the access charge on EE, is this the highest access charge).

Cost to call 0845 numbers, are also charged at the same ‘call rates' of between 0 to 7p at all times from all networks plus the networks access charge).

Some BT domestic customers however do get 0845 included in minute bundles - so maybe charged less - i.e at the same rate to call an 01 or 02 number. Calls from the mobile networks to 0845 are charged at same rates as 0844 & 0843 now i.e between also 0p to 7p/minute depending upon the 0845 ( so either 0p, 1p, 2p, 3p, 4p, 5p, 6p or 7p/min) the rate was chosen by the number range holder for each 0845 range so end users had no say in the matter. Our advice is to call your mobile provider & ask them why they are charging you such a high access charge to connect to 08 & 09 numbers in addition, see if they can give you a valid explanation?

Cost to call 0843 numbers are just the same as 0844 are also charged at the same ‘0844 call rates' of between 0 to 7p at all times from all networks (plus the networks access charge). Cost to call 0870 numbers was originally charged at 'national rate', which was pre-deregulation of the telecoms market; 6.7p at peak time,now are all different rates between 0 to 13p/min at all times from all networks (plus the networks access charge).

On 1st August 2009 Ofcom made changes to 0870 to end revenue share. Following the 1st July 2015 changes now 0870 number users often have to pay per minute but some 0870 numbers, priced at 13p/minute do offer a revenue again. Make your mind up Ofcom.

0870 Change to Pricing - 1st August 2009 & 1st July 2015

Since the changes to Ofcom legislation on 0870 numbers in 2009, businesses using 0870 numbers usually now have to pay per minute to receive calls on the 1p or 2p rate 0870 numbers, this is the same with some 0845 numbers. If the owner of the 0870 range changes the number by one digit to 0370 all 0370 calls to these numbers would be charged at the same rate as 01, 02 number.
