About 0845 Numbers

0845 numbers are often described as "local rate" because their low call charges are location independent. With an 0845 number, if it is routed to a UK landline phone you pay nothing to receive calls. The caller pays only a local rate to call you no matter where in the UK they are situated. Although the cost may vary slightly depending on, amongst other things, number provider and carrier, the cost of calling 0845 numbers is a primary advantage for both businesses and callers. A further advantage of an 0845 number is that your business is able to maintain both a national presence and a 'local' feel.

We can divert your chosen 0845 number to a landline or even to a mobile for an additional cost. Simply choose the option which is right for your business when purchasing your 0845 number at the tariff selection screen.
