Cost of Calling a 0560 number

[VeteranISPUser]

I have been asked to call a 0560 (NVS) number. Before I make the call I would like to understand if this is a premium number, and if so what is the cost. I am on the 700 minute plan.

I have searched the BT Tariff guide and cannot find any mention of 056 or NVS.

Who has asked you to do this? Usual rule of thumb is if it was unprompted by you then it probably a scam. Don't do it.

05 numbers are normaly used in TV shows as fake numbers

but Costa Rica Country Code is also 506 (knida close to what you posted)

so it could be trying to get you to call overseas.

Please don't panic 😂

It is a friend who is testing Voipfone, before he attempts to transfer his existing number, is has been provided with a 0560 number for testing and asked me to call him!

Back to the original question.
