What are 0333 numbers
0333 numbers are national non-geographic helplines which are used throughout the UK by large companies, government organisations and charities. Their easy-to-remember structure makes them widely popular for use by these major organisations as well as for customers who may otherwise struggle to memorise a number. They are charged at the same rate as local 01 and 02 area code numbers, which means you will essentially be able to phone them for free only if you have inclusive minutes as part of your tariff.
