Premium rate telephone numbers (IPRNs) are numbers used for calls to access specific (voice\audiotext) services at higher call rates than apply for usual calls.
Typical voice\audiotext services behind the IPR numbers are the technical support, horoscope, “win a prise” lottery, as well as live chat lines. Further services might include weather forecasts, directory enquiries, competitions and voting (especially as part of TV shows).
It is also possible to use premium rate numbers for voice and data services, live chats, calling TV stations, quiz shows, voting, horoscopes and a whole host of other purposes.
Ultimately any company looking for an alternative method for charging its customers over the phone can become a potential partner of us. Premium Rate Numbers work on the principle o a Pay per Minute or pay per call system whereby it is up to the content provider to decide how much the customer is charged.
There are domestic PR locally accessed only numbers and international PR internationally accessed numbers.
