A 0333 number is used by large corporations, governmental departs, or by third-party organisations such as charities. A 0333 number is now treated the same as an ordinary landline number, like 01 or 02 numbers, but differs from these numbers as there is no geographical location associated with a 03 number, so calls can come from anywhere inside the UK.

Charges to a 0333 number will be charged at the standard access charge of your network operator, which changes depending on whether you are using a landline or mobile phone. If you have a monthly allowance of minutes with either of these devices, then the duration of your call to a 0333 number will simply be removed from your monthly allowance of minutes. If you are using a pay-as-you-go scheme or have run out of minutes, then you will be charged the standard access charge multiplied by the duration of your call.
Calling 0333 numbers on TalkTalk
Calling a 0333 number on a TalkTalk landline can likely be included in your package deal, depending on the time of day you are calling and whether or not you are calling on a weekend. If this is the case, you will be charged nothing for calling a 0333 number. If not, the standard access charge would be 11.5 pence per minute, with a minimum charge of 11.5 pence. When calling from TalkTalk mobile, you are likely using a contract phone, and so if you have any allowance of monthly minutes, then the duration of your call to the 0333 number will be taken away from your monthly limit. Calls outside your monthly allowance or when using a pay-as-you-go phone are charged at 40 pence per minute, with a minimum charge of 40 pence.
