Premium Rate Numbers (PRN):
Premium Rate telephone numbers are used when inbound calls to businesses providing a specific service over the telephone, require callers to be charged at a rate above that of a regular national or local call.
Unlike a normal call, part of the call charge is paid to the company on the end of the line (the service provider), and as such provides a source of income.
Commonly, premium rate services are implemented within companies providing services such as:
- Chat lines
- Customer service & technical support
- Directory Enquiries
- Fundraising
- Weather & travel information
- TV/ Radio voting & competitions
- Ticket booking/ reservation systems
- Downloadable material
