0845 numbers

[echokilo]

Can anyone tell me the rough cost of an 0845 call from a mobile in the daytime lasting 1 hour and 10 minutes please?

probably around 15-20 quid

cheaper using a call box

If you need to call 0845 or 0870 numbers from your mobiles such as National Rail Enquiry, your mobile operators will charge you up to 40p/min.
So it could be as much as £28.

Doesn't matter what the geographical rate is, none of them apply from a mobile. Even free calls (0800) cost from a mobile.

Most mobile providers treat 0845 numbers just like any other UK landline call.

So Orange would charge (based upon their Dolphin & Canary PAYG tariffs) £14.00

Three (on PAYG) would charge £18.20.

From a BT landline (without a relevant calling plan) you'd be charged £1.43.

From a BT landline (with a calling plan giving free calls, up to 1 hour long, during the daytime) you'd be charged 21p.

For future ref, google website SAY NO TO 0870 and put in your 0845/0870/0800 number in the 'search for an alternative number' box and it should provide a landline alternative that will be included in your minutes

your service provider should be able to tell you the cost. I am with o2 and can check on line between bills for costs of calls.
