(Updated for 2025)
Ever looked at a phone number starting with 0330 and wondered, “Is that going to cost me extra?” You’re not alone. Many people assume it’s a premium line – but good news is, it’s not!
Calling an 0330 number on Vodafone costs the same as calling any standard UK landline (i.e. an 01 or 02). In most cases, calls are even included in your monthly allowance.
Let’s take a closer look:
Vodafone call costs to 0330 numbers in 2025
| Type of Vodafone plan | Are 0330 calls included? | Typical cost (outside allowance) | Notes |
| Pay Monthly (Contract) | Yes – included in UK landline minutes | 55p per minute (standard rate) | Treated exactly the same as 01/02 numbers |
| Pay As You Go | Not included | 65p per minute | Charged at Vodafone’s standard UK landline rate |
| Business Plans | Usually included | Varies by plan | Check your business tariff for confirmation |
| Vodafone Landline or Home Phone | Usually included | Up to 16p per minute | Same rate as 01/02 calls |
All prices are correct as of October 2025 and based on Vodafone’s published UK call charges. Always check your individual tariff for up-to-date rates.
So, why aren’t 0330s premium numbers?
Ofcom rules are very clear:
“Calls to numbers starting 03 must cost no more than calls to geographic numbers (01 or 02), and must be included in inclusive minutes.”
That means there are no service charges, no hidden fees, and no difference in cost between calling a business on 0330 or a local number.
Quick summary
- 0330s are included in Vodafone’s inclusive minutes (if you have UK landline minutes)
- 0330s have the same cost as 01/02 calls when outside allowances
- They are not a premium number = no extra service charges
- 0330s are regulated by Ofcom to protect consumers
Helpful steps:
If you’re on Vodafone:
- Check your plan’s UK landline allowance as 0330 numbers are covered by it.
- Remember, if you’re out of minutes or PAYG, you’ll pay the same as calling any 01/02 number.
- Businesses using 0330 numbers can confidently reassure customers that “calls cost no more than standard UK landlines.”
In summary:
Calling an 0330 number on Vodafone in 2025 is simple, fair and predictable. You’ll pay no more than a normal landline call and often nothing at all if it’s included in your bundle.
