Read on to learn about these departments, how to call Ecotricity for free, and the hours of operation for Ecotricity’s call centre.
Ecotricity Free Contact Number
If you are looking for an Ecotricity free contact number, the good news is that almost all calls to Ecotricity should be free, depending on your calling plan. However, it is important to note that there is no dedicated free Ecotricity contact number as Ecotricity’s phone numbers are all 01 or 03 numbers.
According to phone regulator Ofcom, phone numbers beginning with 01 & 03 are cheaper than 08 numbers but could cost up to 16p per minute if you are calling from a landline. If you are on a prepayment plan for your mobile phone, the cost per minute would depend on your provider.
If you are still concerned about the cost of Ecotricity contact numbers, it's best to get in touch with your phone company to find out if 01 & 03 numbers are included in your calling plan or get a free callback from Selectra.
On the plus side, 01 & 03 numbers are included for free in most UK calling plans.
Therefore, if you are looking to contact Ecotricity by phone, the call will likely be free of charge. If you are looking to contact Ecotricity by email or another method, skip ahead to our section on other Ecotricity contact methods.
