If a 0900 number called you
No clear pattern in reports for these numbers yet. If a call worried you:
- 1
Don't ring back to find out
Ofcom warns against returning missed calls from 070, 076, 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers you don't recognise: a one-ring call that tempts you to call back can land you with premium charges. Check the full number here first.
- 2
Forward it to 7726
On a mobile, copy the caller's number from your recent calls and text it to 7726 (it spells SPAM). Scam texts can be forwarded to 7726 as they are. It's free, and your network uses the reports to investigate and block numbers.
- 3
Stop sales calls
Register your landline and mobile free with the Telephone Preference Service (0345 070 0707). Legitimate UK marketers must check it; calls should drop within 28 days. It won't stop scammers.
- 4
If you lost money or shared details
Call your bank on the number on your card (or 159 to reach most UK banks safely), then report it to Report Fraud online or on 0300 123 2040. Report Fraud replaced Action Fraud on 4 December 2025 for England, Wales and Northern Ireland; in Scotland call Police Scotland on 101.

FAQs about 0900
What does 0900 cost to call?
Premium rate: up to £3.60 a minute or £6 a call, plus your provider's access charge. Service charge: 1p to £3.60 a minute, and/or a one-off charge of 5p to £6 per call. Access charge: 8p to 67p a minute, set by your own phone company. Regulator: Ofcom (it took over premium-rate regulation from the PSA on 1 February 2025). (Ofcom call costs guide.)
Who provides 0900 numbers?
Ofcom lists 517 allocated 0900 ranges. The largest holders are Vodafone Ltd (C&W) (121), BT (42) and Media Telecom Ltd (40). The holder is the company that supplies the number to the organisation using it, not the caller.
Should I ring back a missed 0900 call?
Ofcom advises against returning missed calls from 070, 076, 084, 087, 09 and 118 numbers you don't recognise, because one-ring scams use them to run up call charges. Look the full number up first.
How do I report a 0900 call?
On a mobile, text the number to 7726 (free). Report fraud to Report Fraud on 0300 123 2040 (Police Scotland on 101 in Scotland); unwanted sales calls go to the ICO once you've registered with the Telephone Preference Service.
