Landline Phones - How much do calls to 08 numbers cost?

The cost of calls to these numbers are regulated for BT customers. Other providers’ charges are not regulated and may therefore vary so you should speak to your service provider for more information or advice.

Maximum rates for BT customers are listed below.

0800 and 0808 Freephone, free of charge for BT customers
0845 calls are charged at up to 3.95p/min for BT customers
0844 calls are charged at up to 5p/min for BT customers
0870 calls are charged at up to 7.9p/min for BT customers
0871 calls cost up to 10p/min for BT customers

NB: BT also charges a call setup fee for all calls to 08 numbers apart from Freephone numbers.

BT currently includes 0845 and 0870 numbers in Calling Plans so rates for most BT customers are lower than quoted above.
