Premium Rate Numbers (090) facilitate you to generate revenue by providing information or services, by charging the caller a premium for access. These services are also provided on the Internet.

Numeric Futures Ltd specialises in Premium Rate Services and offers a variety of facilities whether you are an established operator or a new competitor. Established operators will receive competitive prices and opportunities to generate extra business, while for a new operator we can provide rapid and effective services to get you started today.

· Premium rate services offer information and entertainment via phone, fax, PC (e-mail, internet, bulletin board), mobile (SMS/WAP) or interactive digital TV.
· Services range from sports, voting and competition lines, to chat and business information services, and currently vary in cost from 10 pence per call to £1.50 per minute.
· The money paid for the call is shared between the telephone company carrying the service and the organisation providing the content.
· All UK based premium rate services must normally be advertised on '090' dialling codes and will be shown on phone bills as 'premium rate call' or 'high premium rate service'.

Certain services may also be available on the international dialling codes beginning with'00'. Calls to these services will be listed on bills in the 'international calls' section and will name the country called, such as Chile, Guyana or Tuvalu.

There are certain categories of service that may not be provided unless ICSTIS has granted prior permission to operate the service. These include the following:

· Services involving two-way live conversation.
· Services charged at more than £1 per minute where the total call cost can exceed £20.
· All credit services.

Who Are ICSTIS?

ICSTIS; The Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services, is the regulatory body for premium rate services. The committee consists of 9 members, all appointed in their individual capacities. ICSTIS is a non-profit making limited company, which is financed by the industry. The committee is supported by a full time Secretariat ("the Secretariat").

The ICSTIS code of practise stipulates whether the services you require need to be registered to obtain a license. To know whether your business requires this, Numeric Futures Ltd will contact ICTIS on your behalf.
