A usage policy of a maximum per call duration of 60 minutes applies. Talk-Talk's own website advises customers to redial at 59mins to avoid any charges

All charges and scenarios referred to on this site are based on Talk-Talk calling plan customers Please make sure you understand what your telephone service provider will charge for calling our 0870 access number.

What if I make a call outside my monthly calling plans? (How much will it cost?)

Call0870 will make no charge to you for calls to the service.

What happens if I call the number outside of the advertised times?
Call0870 publishes a full list of destinations and availability times on our web site. Outside of these published times your call will not be connected to the international destination.

Will I receive another bill from you?
No, you will only be billed by your existing service provider for calls to our access number or if you have a Talk-Talk calling plan and are eligible to make calls to 0870 numbers within that plan then you will see those listed in your inclusive minutes.

Why can I call some destinations 24/7 but others 24/5 or 8am/6pm Monday to Friday only?
Because of the cost of connecting calls to different destinations around the world varies, the rates we are offered by the telecoms operators reflect this. Therefore you will notice some of the more expensive destinations will not be as freely available to call as some others.
