084 Business Rate Numbers
Business rate · starts 0842, 0843, 0844 and 0845 · Calling an 084 or 087 number costs your provider's access charge plus a service charge set by the organisation, and these calls usually aren't included in bundles.
What 084 numbers are
084 numbers are charged at business rate. The price of a call is split in two: an access charge set by your own phone provider, and a service charge set by the organisation you're calling, part of which goes to them. Most numbers in this range start 0843, 0844 or 0845.
These calls are usually not included in bundled minutes, so a long wait in a queue can add up. If you don't recognise an 084 number that has called you, check what it is and what your provider charges before calling back.

Questions about 084 numbers
How much is a call to an 084 number?
It's your provider's access charge plus the service charge set by the organisation. The total varies and usually isn't covered by inclusive minutes.
Is 0845 still a local rate number?
No. 0845 used to be marketed as local rate, but it's now a business-rate number with both an access charge and a service charge.
What kind of organisations use 084 numbers?
Mostly companies taking bookings, selling tickets or handling customer queries, along with a few public services. Anyone can rent one, so the number alone tells you nothing about who's calling.
Should I be worried about a missed call from 084?
Not necessarily. Be cautious if a missed call or message is trying to get you to ring an 084 number, though, because you'll be paying for that call.
