Who Called Me from 0845? UK premium-rate numbers
0845 is the UK Service rate dialling code across 885 Ofcom-allocated number blocks. Look up who called from a 0845 number, identify the network operator, check against known scam patterns and report unwanted calls.
0845 is part of the UK service-charge / premium-rate range. Calls to these numbers cost more than a standard UK call — you pay your provider's access charge plus the service charge set by the organisation you're calling. Ofcom rules require the service charge to be stated up-front in any advertising.
Premium-rate ranges include 084x/087x (typically up to 13p/min service charge), 0870/0871/0872/0873 (often used for customer-support lines), and 09xx (true premium, up to £3.60/min — used for competitions, voting lines and adult services). The premium-rate sector is co-regulated by Ofcom and the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA).
If you receive an unsolicited call from a 0845 number, treat it with caution. A common scam pattern is a one-ring missed call from a premium-rate range, hoping you'll call back. Don't — verify any organisation through its public website first.
