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
