Important information about call charges
We have recently introduced an 0345 number for UK customers as calls cost no more to an 0345 number than calls to fixed line phones (landlines). We will continue to operate this alongside our old 0845 number, which will be phased out. We recommend UK customers use 0345 850 5555 to call us to ensure you minimise your call charges.
Call charges to 0345 850 5555
Calls to 0345 numbers cost no more than calls to geographic numbers (landlines) and must be included in inclusive minutes and discount schemes offered by your phone provider in the same way.
Calls to 0345 numbers from mobile phones are subject to the tariff set by the mobile networks and may vary. They are included in free call packages. You should contact your network provider or visit their website for details.
You can find further information on call charges at www.moneysavingexpert.com
If you have a hearing or speech impairment you can contact us using Next Generation Text Service. More details on this service can be found in accessibility under hearing or speech impairment.
