Call charge changes

Changes to premium rate calls
On 1 March 2010, we changed how we charge you for calls to 09 and 070 premium rate numbers from your Vodafone mobile. These price changes are for our pay as you go and pay monthly customers.

Calling an 09 premium rate number?
You'll pay 50p, £1, £1.50 or £2 - depending on which band your call comes under. Use the 09 price checker on this page to see what you'll pay. The only thing you need to know is that there's a minimum one minute call charge.
We made this change so you'll know how much your call will cost - whether you're charged by the minute or just for making a call.

Calling an 070 premium rate number?
You'll pay just 65p a minute - that's it. The only thing you need to know is that there's a minimum one minute call charge.
