Who Called Me From a 0870 Number? Cost & Caller Lookup
A 0870 number is a UK service number from the old "national rate" 087 family. Calling 0870 today costs your provider's access charge PLUS a service charge of up to 7 pence per minute, and it is NOT included in inclusive minutes. Ofcom created the matching 0370 range so organisations could offer an 01/02-rate alternative, and many big brands have switched. Older 0870 numbers still connect — type the full number below to see the original Ofcom range holder.

Frequently asked questions about 0870 numbers
Are 0870 numbers free to call?
No. 0870 is never free — it carries a service charge of up to 7p/min plus your access charge, even from a landline, and it is not covered by inclusive minutes. If the organisation publishes a matching 0370 or 01/02 number, use that instead.
How much does 0870 cost in 2026?
0870 calls cost up to 7p/min service charge plus your provider's access charge (typically 5p-65p/min from a mobile). Expect roughly 10p-72p per minute in total. Inclusive minutes do NOT apply.
Is 0870 the same as 0370?
No. 0370 is charged at the standard 01/02 local rate and is included in inclusive minutes. 0870 carries a service charge of up to 7p/min that is never included. Ofcom designed 0370 as the cheaper mirror of 0870 specifically so callers had a local-rate option.
