There was a tip in Yours magazine. To avoid expensive charges replace
084 numbers with 034.
087 numbers with 037.
I haven't tried it yet but thought I would share this.

I had to call my car insurance company this week, and when I dialled the 0845 number, I had a message to replace it with 0345.

Does anyone know what the charges are for both please ?

As far as I can work out 084 costs 11p plus service charge per minute.
All 03 numbers are free.

Ofcom regulations require phone providers to treat calls to 03 numbers the same as calls to 01 and 02 numbers. This applies whether you call from a landline or from a mobile.
