### Understanding Call Costs
<p>Calling <strong>191</strong> from a Vodafone mobile within the UK is always free.</p>

<p>The number <strong>0333 304 0191</strong> is a standard UK-wide number. According to the UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, calls to 03 numbers must cost no more than a national rate call to a 01 or 02 number. This means they must be included in any bundled minutes or free call packages offered by your landline or mobile provider. If you have used all your inclusive minutes, you will be charged at your provider's standard rate for a call to a UK landline.</p>

## Digital and Self-Service Options
