Who Called Me From a 0343 Number? UK Local-Rate Range
A 0343 number is a UK non-geographic number charged at the standard 01/02 local rate and included in inclusive minutes. It is the cheaper replacement that organisations adopted when moving away from the service-charge 0843 range. Government bodies, agencies such as the DVSA, and large customer-service operations use 0343 numbers. 0343 is NOT premium-rate and NOT freephone.
