If you’re wondering how much it is to call a 0330 number on the UK network, you’re not alone. Fortunately, it’s not a premium rate – far from it.
Numbers beginning with 03 (incl. 0330) are regulated so that they cost no more than a standard UK landline call (i.e., numbers starting with 01 or 02).
That means when you call a 0330 number on most mobile networks:
- If you have inclusive minutes for UK landline numbers (01/02/03) in your plan, calls to 0330 numbers should be included.
- If you’re outside inclusive minutes (or on pay-as-you-go), calls will be charged at your standard UK landline rate.
- There should be no extra premium surcharge for dialling 0330.
Here’s a breakdown of key networks and what their published rates say for calling 0330 numbers.
(Always check your specific plan for the latest.)
Summary Table: 0330 call costs by network (2025)
| Network | Rate for 0330 numbers | Notes / inclusive minutes |
| giffgaff | £0.25 per minute outside inclusive minutes. | If your ‘GoodyBag’ (bundle) includes UK landline calls, 0330 is included. |
| Lycamobile | £0.12/minute (in certain tariffs) for 0330 and other 03 numbers. | Some plans show very low pay-as-you-go rates when not bundled. |
| VOXI | Published call cost to ‘03 numbers’ around £0.30 per minute in one source. | The rate seems higher; check your specific VOXI plan. |
| Plusnet Mobile | Published as ‘calls to standard UK landlines (01, 02, 03) … £0.40 per minute’. | If your plan includes UK landline minutes, then 0330 should be treated the same. |
| FreedomPop | Older source: ‘Calls to 0330 numbers cost no extra than a national landline call.’ | Very limited detailed current data — advisable to check your plan. |
Points to remember:
- Check your mobile plan’s inclusive minute allowance for UK landline numbers (01/02) and whether 03 numbers are also included.
- If you’re within your allowance, the call to a 0330 number should be free (or count as one of your inclusive minutes).
- If you’re outside your allowance or on a purely pay-as-you-go tariff, expect to pay the standard UK landline rate, as shown in the table above.
- If you’re the business owner using a 0330 number, you can confidently inform callers that the number costs no more than a standard UK landline call and is often free.
Final note
While the rates above give a good guide, always check your actual tariff for any extras or exceptions. Remember that providers may update rates, introduce bundles, or change terms.
