Cost to call a 0845 UK Telephone Number
BT landline rates are 4p, 2p and 1p per minute Day, Night and Weekend (inc. VAT), more from mobile networks. .

Regulatory issues
Ofcom have been wondering what to do about this range, but our best guess is that it will be unlikely to change in the next 2 years or so.

Mobile accessibility
All UK mobile operators tend to overcharge for calls to 0845 telephone numbers

International Accessibility: Decent
An international operator may charge more for a call made to a 0845 number than would be charged to a local geographic 01, 02, or 03 Number. Although many international operators will support this range, some may not support the 0845 range, and not be as reliable to recieve calls into the United Kingdom from aboard from your 0845 number.

Typical Applications
Usually in a soft sales or support situation where callers are not so cost-sensitive and the owner wishes to have fixed costs. Often compared to 0844 numbers, although the public are more familiar with 0845 (which are also cheaper to call, specially at weekends).
