Premium Rate & Premium SMS services

  • Premium rate is a breeding ground for some weird and wonderful services. Many services commonly used in business (such as telephone voting for local elections), have their roots in the premium rate industry.

    The uniqueness of easily charging someone by simply picking up the phone has made it an appealing vehicle for companies to use.

    The variety of services is almost limitless and far beyond the commonly known chat or tarot lines. Premium rate will continue to be an attractive payment tool for a long time to come.

  • Short messsage service (SMS) is known to many as a text message, but it is much more than this. It can be used as a mobile equivalant to a premium rate number. It enables mobile users the same ease in accessing and paying for services just as if they were dialling a premium rate number.

    However, it is not simply an alternative to premium rate, but is in fact a more versatile tool as it allows users access to services whilst on the move and without being restricted to dialling from a fixed line. It can also be used to generate interest in a product or service by way of sending a free message.
