0845 numbers are charged at rates up to 5p/minute from a BT landline, up to 42p/minute from a mobile phone. 0870 numbers are charged at rates up to 8p/minute from a BT landline, up to 42p/minute from a mobile. Most "inclusive" plans do not include calls to either 0845 or 0870 numbers, but do include calls to 01, 02, and 03 numbers.

Are 0845 numbers free?

Numbers beginning 084x and 087x are "special services," and usually chargeable. 0845 and 0870 numbers work on a slightly different revenue system to other 084 and 087 numbers. Ofcom stopped revenue sharing on 0870 numbers in 2009. BT expected the same to happen to 0845 numbers so went ahead and allowed both 0870 and 0845 to be used within inclusive minutes. Ofcom stepped back from cancelling revenue share for 0845 numbers, so BT subsidises the approx 2p/min revenue share on calls to 0845 numbers. The price for 0845 numbers from landlines was tied to "local rate" before 2005. Since 2005, calls to 01 and 02 numbers are no longer charged by distance. There is a single "geographic rate". Additionally, most callers call 01 and 02 numbers for up to one hour within inclusive minutes. "Local rate" no longer exists. It is illegal to describe 084 numbers as "local rate". 0845 numbers cost up to 40p/min from mobiles. From landlines they cost up to 10p/min or many be usable within inclusive calls at certain times, depending on call package. Businesses should be moving to 0345 numbers to ensure their customers pay no more than they would for calling 01 and 02 numbers. The Consumer Rights Directive will force this move in 2014.

What is an 0871 number?

Calling an 0871 or 0872 number has three cost components: 1. The "service charge" or "revenue share" or "premium". This varies from 5p/min to 10p/min depending on exactly which number you call. Every caller, whether from landline or mobile, pays the same amount of "service charge". Ofcom maintains a list of these rates. 2. The "access charge" or "markup" or "profit". Callers from BT landlines pay ZERO for this component. BT is regulated to make no profit on calls to 0843, 0844, 0871 and 0872 numbers. Callers from other landlines pay 2p/min to 10p/min "access charge" and this varies depending on who you pay your phone bill to; e.g. Virgin is approx 4p/min. Callers using mobile phones pay 10p/min to 30p/min for this component, and it varies depending on which mobile operator you pay your phone bill to. 3. VAT VAT is currently 20% of the total price. Note: 0870 numbers currently work slightly differently. The revenue share for 0870 numbers was approx 5p/min but varied depending on the provider. Ofcom scrapped revenue sharing on 0870 numbers in 2009. The call price from landlines is usually about 5p/min to 10p/min but many landline providers allow these calls within inclusive minutes. Ofcom is likely to align 0870 pricing with that for 0871 and 0872 numbers in April or May 2013 with the introduction of "unbundled tariffs".

What is a real telephone number?

A real telephone number is a telephone number that is live and connects to a landline or mobile device. There are different telephone numbers available that people don't recognise or insider not correct, this relates especially to non geographic numbers such as numbers like 0870, 0844 or when you need to dial the full area dialling code (STD) although the number should not need to be dialled in full.
