08444930747 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 08444930747 👆 is reported as a premium rate number primarily linked to British Airways customer and Avios services, with multiple users highlighting unexpectedly high charges often exceeding £30 for calls involving long hold times or booking issues. Callers express shock over the lack of upfront warnings regarding premium call costs, describing charges as excessive and unfair, especially for loyal customers seeking assistance. Several report long delays on hold and poor online alternatives, resulting in unavoidable use of this costly number. Complaints suggest this premium service model is viewed as exploitative, prompting many to seek alternative airlines or escalate disputes to regulators. New users are advised to verify call costs beforehand and consider non-telephonic options when possible to avoid substantial and surprise expenses.

Tesco Mobile has taken a hefty sum from me (£22.67) because I either called them or answered their call. They charge £3.14 and the call lasted 36 minutes, but I got hit with an extra £19.50, probably from the 0844 number’s operators. I’m not gonna call back to check who it is cos that would cost me more, but I’m planning to report this overcharging to the ombudsman.

I rang British Airways and they left me waiting ages. When they finally picked up and sorted out my problem, my phone bill had already shot up to £68.

British Airways helpline is actually a premium rate, charging over a quid a minute. They kinda trap you since you can’t sort everything online, so you’re stuck listening to them charge you. Proper frustrating!

I rang British Airways to sort out a flight using Avios points. The fee from BA for the call was just round 50p for like 6 minutes, but EE's access charge ended up being over £6. Lesson learned - must double-check my call plan before using my mobile for these calls next time.

Had no clue till I saw the comments here that this number was actually the BA flight helpline. Ridiculous fee, ended up costing me nearly £13. You live and learn, as they say. All this fuss was just to sort out an e-voucher I had from before COVID hit - I daftly figured leaving my money with them would help keep BA going when loads of airlines were crashing. Wish I’d just asked for a refund from the start. Properly annoyed about this.

I just looked at my phone bill and was shocked to see I’d been charged £36 for a handful of calls, not realising it was a premium rate number - feels like a total rip-off! I couldn’t make the booking online myself because it was a tricky ticket with one segment on a BA partner airline. They never mentioned the call would cost a fortune, otherwise I’d have figured out other ways to sort it before dialing. Such sneaky tactics - really disappointing!

Had a phone chat that lasted about 20 minutes and ended up getting hit with a bill of more than £15. I didn’t know it would cost that much since I’ve called this number previously. Tried to book online but kept getting errors with voucher codes - they had to correct and resend them before I could even use them. Really not on. I’ll get through my vouchers for now but thinking I might switch to different airlines next time. Feels like they’re being a bit sneaky with their charges.

I always thought 0844 numbers were included in my call package as a local rate, but clearly not. British Airways ought to be really upfront about this when you ring about redeeming Avios points. Ended up with a £11.27 bill for a 44-minute call, thinking it’d be local rate. Proper daylight robbery, especially when you can find the same flights cheaper than the ridiculous fees BA are charging. Honestly, BA should be looked into over this, and it’s making me question if it’s even worth using Avios anymore.

This number turned out to be a premium one. I tried calling BA twice, waited for ages, about 39 minutes, and still no answer. Then I called again but they said they couldn’t assist me right away and promised someone would ring back. I got a call back only after 3 days. To top it off, my bill ended up being £47.38 before VAT. Absolutely ridiculous.

Got a tough lesson here! Always be super careful when calling numbers starting with '0843/4/5' or ones like '090/091' plus mobiles. It might end up costing you, and judging by some of the comments here, it’s already hit a few people hard.

Just got my phone bill and noticed a weird charge since i have the BT plan where calls up to an hour are supposed to be free. Turns out it was an 0844 premium rate number. I was trying to use my Avios and a companion voucher to book a trip, called BA, spoke to a guy who said anywhere in Caribbean, any dates 14 days apart. He put me on hold and then the call dropped, so I ended up paying for nothing. Thanks a lot, BA. Also, I filled in their survey and wasnt exactly impressed with their service!

Caribbean

This is honestly so annoying and unfair. I got charged £48.43 just for phoning BA to sort out a problem, which they never actually fixed, then they lost the complaint ticket, and I ended up having to pay even more calling them again. They really need to tell you upfront that this is a premium rate number as soon as the call starts. I wouldn’t have expected this kind of treatment from a well-known company like British Airways - really disappointing!
