About the 0345 prefix

The 0345 prefix is a non-geographic UK business number. Callers pay the same standard landline rate as a 01/02 number, and the call is usually included in their mobile bundle.

Quick answers

FAQs for 0345 virtual numbers

What's the difference between 0345 and 0333?+

Practically, very little, both are non-geographic, both charged at standard landline rates, both included in most mobile bundles. 0345 has been around longer (often replacing legacy 0845), 0333 is newer and feels more modern. Pick whichever fits your brand voice.

Are 0345 calls included in mobile bundles?+

On most modern monthly tariffs, yes. If a caller is on a pay-as-you-go or budget tariff, calls cost the same as a national-rate call to an 01 or 02 number.

Can I move an existing 0345 number to Smart Numbers?+

Yes, porting takes around 10 working days, with no downtime on the day of switchover. Submit the request through our porting flow.

Will I be tied into a long contract?+

No. All Smart Numbers plans run on a 30-day rolling basis. Stop or change your number at any time.

Can I forward calls to my mobile or international number?+

Yes. Forward to any UK mobile or landline, or to an international destination. Time-of-day and divert-on-busy routing is included on Advanced and Professional plans.
