Ring it for advice (8)

I believe the answer is:

helpline

(Other definitions for helpline that I've seen before include "Telephone service to sort problems" , "Phone service that offers assistance with problems" , "free resource?" , "Phone it for aid" , "What to call for aid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
