Samaritans - Number Please Help.
Hello I firstly called this number 0845 790 9090 (listed on a local Crisis Line Website)
My credit went down while I was talking to someone maybe 5-7 mins.
I then rang back on 116123 which when asked if this was a free number they mentioned it was but thought maybe the other number could be old.
Can someone double check and help me find if this is a Legitimate number?

Hi,
0845 numbers are expensive to call from a mobile. They now have an access charge plus the charge per minute.
116 123 should be completely free and is the number you should call for Samaritans from any phone now.

Thanks @OverlyAnxious I realise my mistake, I wish the call didn´t go through on that number because I was scared I got through to a scam line. But after calling scope helpline and adding a message here, that Premium line is an old number.
Yes I will only call the 116123 line if I ever need it again.
