What we can do for you

This means you can have a single point of contact telephone number irrespective of actual geographic location within the UK. 0845 phone numbers are also known as non-geographic numbers.

0845 telephone numbers can be expensive for callers to call and are not usually included in free minutes bundles for landlines and mobiles. They are often VERY expensive for callers to call.
