What are Premium Rate Numbers
Premium rate numbers are numbers that begin with 090x and 0982. They can be used to raise revenue from callers telephoning your 090x and 0982 numbers. You can set the amount to charge the caller from £0.15p per minute to £1.50p per minute. Charging callers to call your premium rate number allows you to sell services via the telephone. Your charge to the caller is collected via their telephone bill and passed over to us, we in turn pass a large share of this money raised to you in the form of call revenue each month.
Premium Rate Numbers are FREE to you
090x and 0982 Premium Rate Numbers are free to obtain and do not cost to maintain them and you will earn between 60p to £1.05 per minute call revenue from them.
It takes around 30 days to get clearance (if needed) from PhonepayPlus (ICSTIS) who are the regulators for Premium Rate Numbers. All applicants will need to agree to our code of practice and the PhonepayPlus (ICSTIS) regulations of decenty and fair play.

High Value Telephone Service (HVTS)
08 DIRECT joined forces with CreditCall, US giants in the credit and debit card processing industry, in developing a new and unique service that they are confident will replace PRS (090x) numbers on account of some of the bad press it has been receiving lately.
High Value Telephone Service (HVTS) has gotten positive responses from industry clients such as tarot and chat line operators, through to consultancy and technical support services.
What is ‘High Value Telephone Services’?
In brief, it is a telephony based credit and debit card payment service that allows the customer to pay per minute or per call.
E.g.:
Step 1: Customer dials to a freephone number from a landline or a PSDN number from a mobile for psychic services connecting them directly to the HVTS software
Step 2: The customer is then asked to make their choice of service required via a 4 digit Pin number and will have to enter their payment card details using the touchstone buttons.
Step 3: The payment details are sent to the bank for authorization for confirmation.
Step 4: The customer is connected to the service operator they have selected once the payment details have been confirmed.
The Advantage?
The service operator is not tied up with payment transactions, therefore being able to receive a higher volume of calls. The customer is happy, as they are able to enter their payment card details into a secure software system and not to some random operator.
