Best Answer

In the UK, 0845 is a non-geographic code, originally intended to provide a single national number that would be charged at rates comparable to a local call. However, 0845 numbers now cost more than a local call for most callers, and may even cost more than a long distance call, particularly for a mobile caller. Most "inclusive" plans do not include 0845 numbers. For that reason, 0845 numbers are much less popular than they once were, with many of them migrating to the new 03 range, which offers a better value for callers.

In the UK why do '0845' numbers cost more to call than other numbers?

The most likely answer is simply that the phone companies are "greedy", but it could be claimed that '0845' numbers are worth more. '0845' numbers are so called non-geographic numbers, which means the caller doesn't have to dial an area code. Aside from saving a few seconds for the caller, it also ads value to any company using such a number as their official telephone number. Having an area code would make the number harder to remember for potential customers and would send a bad message as well (i.e. "we can't afford a nation wide number and we don't offer our products nationwide"). Therefore it might make sense for the phone company to charge extra for these numbers.
