How much does an 0345 number cost? (UK, 2026)
Numbers2026-10-284 min readBy Silux Call team
What an 0345 number costs your business each month, what it costs the people who call it, and the extras to check before you buy.
An 0345 number has two costs to think about: what your business pays for the number, and what your callers pay to ring it.
What callers pay
Ofcom fixes calls to 03 numbers at the same price as calling an 01 or 02 landline, from both mobiles and landlines. Most bundles include them, so for most callers an 0345 number costs nothing extra. That is the big difference from 0845, which carries a service charge.
What your business pays with Silux Call
- £4.99 a month for the 0345 number (ex VAT).
- No setup fee and no contract: cancel with 30 days' notice.
- Nothing per incoming call: the caller pays their normal rate, not you.
- Added to any paid plan: menus, hunt groups, opening hours, voicemail to email and the app all work on it.
What to check with any provider
- Per-minute charges for incoming calls: some providers charge you for every minute your 0345 number receives.
- Setup fees for "golden" numbers: memorable numbers can cost a lot more.
- Contract length: look for monthly rolling terms.
- Where calls ring: make sure it reaches mobiles and the whole team, not just one desk phone.
Choose your 0345 number from live stock, or compare it with 0330 numbers (same price) and 0800 freephone numbers.
