What is 0845 number?

An 0845 number is a UK non-geographic number that carries a service charge on top of the caller's own phone company's access charge, so it usually costs callers more than a local call and is rarely included in call bundles.

How does 0845 number relate to Silux Call?

Since the UK Calling reforms of July 2015, 0845 calls show a service charge of up to several pence a minute plus the caller's access charge, which puts many customers off calling. Ofcom created the 03 range, especially 0345, so organisations could move to a number that costs callers the same as a local call. Silux Call does not sell 084 or 087 numbers; we sell 0345 and 0330 numbers for £4.99 a month instead. See [0345 numbers](/0345-numbers) and [0345 number](/glossary/0345-number).
