How Much Does An 0333 Number Cost To Call

0333 Numbers have become increasingly popular with businesses throughout the UK as it is a number that is not tied down to any specific geographical location. They are a great alternative to 0800 numbers for businesses as the charges are minimal to the customer calling you whilst reducing your operational costs. With no line rental and no physical set up required, 0333 numbers are an ideal solution for many businesses who would prefer a much more flexible and cost-effective telephony solution.

Cost to call 0333 numbers

Whether you are calling from a mobile or landline, the cost to call a 0333 number is the same as it would be for dialling any other normal home or business landline number such as 01 or 02 prefix numbers. If your phone tariff provides inclusive calls to landlines, then any calls you make to 0333 numbers will also be included. This is one of the key reasons why 0333 numbers are so popular for businesses of all sizes.

As part of their regulations, Ofcom prohibits phone companies from charging customers more to call a 03 number than they would charge for any standard landline. This is detailed in their call costs guide, outlined on their website.

There is often confusion as to whether 0333 numbers are free to call in the same way 0800 numbers are, but they are in fact not. They can however be called at no extra charge from landline and mobile phones. All ‘03’ number will work in the same way and be charged the same rate, so numbers with prefixes such as 0345 or 0330 are considered the same.

Calling 0333 numbers from your mobile

Calling an 0333 number from a mobile is the same as calling any other 01 or 02 landline number. The charges will be exactly the same and with the majority of service providers offering tariffs that include monthly minutes as part of their package, you won’t have to pay anything on top of your contract.

The only time a charge would occur for calling an 0333 number via mobile is if you have already used up all of your call minutes for the month, in which case you’ll be charged a standard landline call rate determined by your provider. According to Ofcom, calls outside of any inclusive minutes, can cost between 3p and 65p per minute.

Calling 0333 numbers on landline

It is generally the belief that 0333 numbers are free to call from landlines, however this is not the case. Most people don’t realise that often home landline packages will include deals with free weekend and evening calls as a customer incentive. Therefore, if you call an 0333 number during these periods of time, you will not be charged the standard landline rate. According to Ofcom, any calls made from landlines are typically charged up to 16p per minute outside of the free call hours and the majority of providers charge a 23p call set-up fee, but this can vary.
