119

Tried to ring 119 today but phone said your balance is low silence then end call. I thought 119 was a free call.

It's the Covid helpline and set up to steer calls away from 111. As far as I'm concerned, it is a free call, the same as 111.

How much does a 119 call cost?

The official advice is to book a test online wherever possible at nhs.co.uk/coronavirus, “or call 119 if you have no internet access.” The 119 number now stands alongside other designated three-digit emergency and non-emergency phone numbers, such as 999 and 111. Calls to the number will be free of charge.29 May 2020
