Frequently asked questions about 0871 numbers
How much does 0871 cost in 2026?
0871 calls cost up to 13p/min service charge plus your provider's access charge (typically 5p-65p/min from a mobile). Total cost can be 18p-78p per minute. Inclusive minutes do NOT cover 0871.
Is 0871 a premium-rate number?
Not technically — true premium rate is the 09 range. But 0871 is a higher-rate service number with a service charge of up to 13p/min, which makes it one of the most expensive non-09 ranges to call. Treat it as expensive.
Is 0871 a scam number?
The 0871 range is used by legitimate ticketing and booking lines, but the high per-minute cost also makes it popular with scammers and "fake directory" sites that publish an 0871 number to keep you on a costly call. Never call an 0871 number from an unsolicited text or pop-up, and check whether the organisation publishes a cheaper 03 or 01/02 alternative.
