Is this a toll-free number?/Is this call free of charge?


Explanation:
This applies to the USA, where a toll-free number is free to the calling party. One asks about the number being toll-free, not the other way around.

cccc
A toll-free telephone number or freephone number is a telephone number that is billed for all arriving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline is free of charge.

is this a premium-rate phone number?


Explanation:
Premium-rate telephone numbers are telephone numbers for telephone calls during which certain services are provided, and for which prices higher than normal are charged. Unlike a normal call, part of the call charge is paid to the service provider, thus enabling businesses to be funded via the calls.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium-rate_telephone_number

OR: "ALBO: "Do any call/service charges apply when calling this number?""

"Call Charges and Information
Calls to 0800 and 0808 numbers are free from UK land lines and personal mobiles, otherwise call charges may apply. Calls to 03 numbers use free plan minutes if available; otherwise they cost the same as calls to 01/02 prefix numbers. Please check with your service provider. "
