So how much does it cost to call 0330? More specifically, how much does it cost on EE? Thankfully 0330s are treated exactly the same as calls to normal UK landlines i.e. 01 or 02 numbers. So, if your plan includes UK landline minutes, you can call 0330 numbers at no extra charge.
EE call costs to 0330 numbers in 2025
| Type of EE Plan | Are 0330 calls included? | Typical cost outside allowance | Notes |
| Monthly Contract (Pay Monthly) | Yes — included in your UK landline minutes | 55p per minute | Calls are covered like 01/02 numbers. Only Isle of Man / Channel Islands 0330 numbers may incur roaming rates. |
| Pay As You Go (PAYG) | Not included by default | 35p per minute | Same as other UK landlines. If you buy an EE Pack, 0330 calls come out of your inclusive minutes. |
| EE Business Plans | Usually included | Varies by tariff | Check your business plan for exact inclusive minute rules. |
| EE Landline / Home Phone | Included with most plans | Up to 16p per minute | Charged the same as standard UK landlines. |
Prices correct as of October 2025. Always check EE’s latest charges for your specific plan.
So, are 0330 numbers free to call on EE?
Firstly they’re NOT premium-rate and for most people, they’re effectively free because:
- They’re included in monthly allowances for calls to UK landlines (01/02).
- If you’re on PAYG and don’t have a Pack, you’ll pay the same per-minute cost as calling any 01/02 number.
- There are no service charges or ‘access fees’ applied to 03 numbers.
Even if you run out of inclusive minutes, you’ll simply pay the standard UK landline rate (e.g. 35–55p per min depending on plan).
Ofcom Regulation and Legislation (2025 update)
The rules are clear and there to protect callers:
‘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:
- No extra charges or service fees.
- The same rate as 01 / 02 calls.
- 0330 calls count toward inclusive minutes on EE plans.
In summary:
Calling an 0330 number on EE in 2025 is simple:
- If you’ve got inclusive minutes – you’re covered!
- If not you’ll pay the same as any standard UK landline call.
- No hidden premiums, no sneaky fees – just fair, Ofcom-regulated rates.
