9845 numbers are free if you've got BT Option 3

0845 numbers are premium rate numbers, as are all 084, 087 and 09 numbers.

Part of what you pay for the call is passed on from your phone company to the company that is running the phone number and queueing the calls.

Part of this money pays for handling the call and delivering it onwards to the business you are calling. If there is anything left over the company you are calling gets a payout.

On an 0845 number this payout is very small, under 1p/min. It's a bit bigger on 0843/0844, larger still on 0871/0872/0873. The largest payments are on 09 numbers.
