Who Called Me From a 0845 Number? Cost & Caller Lookup
A 0845 number is a UK service number from the old "lo-call" 084 family. Despite once being marketed as "local rate", calling 0845 today costs your provider's access charge PLUS a service charge of up to 7 pence per minute, and inclusive minutes do NOT cover it. Because of this, most banks, utilities and government bodies have migrated their 0845 numbers to a matching 0345 number (which is charged at the standard 01/02 local rate). Many old 0845 numbers still ring through — type the full number below to see the original Ofcom range holder.

Frequently asked questions about 0845 numbers
How much does 0845 cost in 2026?
0845 calls cost up to 7p/min service charge plus your provider's access charge (typically 5p-65p/min from a mobile). Total cost is usually 10p-72p per minute. Inclusive minutes and bundled allowances do NOT cover 0845.
Is 0845 free to call?
No. 0845 is never free — it carries a service charge of up to 7p/min on top of your access charge, even from a landline. If the organisation also publishes an 03 or 01/02 number, that alternative is almost always cheaper and is covered by inclusive minutes.
Is 0845 the same as 0345?
No. 0345 is charged at the standard 01/02 local rate and is included in inclusive minutes. 0845 carries a service charge of up to 7p/min that is never included in your allowance. Many businesses deliberately switched their 0845 numbers to a matching 0345 number to remove that extra cost for customers.
Who called me from a 0845 number?
A 0845 caller is usually an older business, bank or utility line that has not yet migrated to 03. Type the full 11-digit 0845 number into the free checker on this page to see the original Ofcom range holder.
Can I call an 0845 number from my inclusive minutes?
No. Service-charge ranges such as 0845, 0844, 0843, 0870 and 0871 are explicitly excluded from inclusive minutes on every UK mobile and landline plan. You will be billed the access charge plus the service charge separately.
