Who Called Me From a 0843 Number? Service-Charge Range Explained
A 0843 number is a UK service number — part of the 084 service-charge family. Calling 0843 costs your provider's standard access charge PLUS a service charge of up to 7 pence per minute. Inclusive call minutes do NOT cover 0843. Many businesses moved away from 0843 to 0330 / 0333 in recent years specifically to remove that extra charge from their customers — so a business still using 0843 is usually doing it deliberately to earn revenue on inbound calls.

Frequently asked questions about 0843 numbers
How much does it cost to call 0843?
0843 calls cost up to 7p per minute in service charge PLUS your provider's access charge (typically 5p-65p/min). Total cost is usually 10p-72p per minute. Inclusive minutes do NOT cover 0843.
Why am I getting calls from 0843?
A 0843 caller is using a service number that earns revenue on inbound calls. Many businesses use 0843 for customer-service lines specifically because the receiving business gets a small share of the call revenue. If you are receiving unsolicited 0843 calls, register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to block sales calls.
Is 0843 premium rate?
Not technically — premium-rate is 09. But 0843 carries a service charge of up to 7p/min on top of your access charge, so calls are significantly more expensive than 01/02 or 0330/0333.
