Questions about 0845 calls
Who uses 0845 numbers?

Yes. You pay your provider's access charge and the organisation's service charge, and these calls usually aren't in your bundle.
How do I call 0845 from outside the UK?
Dial +44 or 00 44, leave off the 0, then 845 and the remaining digits: +44 845 xxx xxxx.
