Who Called Me From a 0300 Number? NHS / Charity / Public-Sector Range
A 0300 number is a UK non-geographic number reserved by Ofcom for the NHS, local government, central government and registered charities. Calls to 0300 cost the same as a standard 01/02 call and are included in inclusive minutes. 0300 is NOT premium-rate. Because eligibility is restricted, 0300 numbers are rarely used in scams — but a fake "we are calling from the NHS" cold call may still try to spoof a 0300 caller-ID.
