To help you
understand how you can earn money from Premium Rate Services and what
Rules
and Regulations you are
required to follow
when promoting such services
please read below.
What are Premium Rate Services?
Premium Rate is the term used for phone calls that are
charged at a higher rate to the caller. These numbers always begin 09.
It is an industry worth over £2 billion a year in the UK. There are a
variety of services available for you to operate.
How do I earn money from Premium Rate?
When a caller calls the
number the charge of the call is added to their telephone bill. These
charges are then shared between the network operator (typically BT) and
the service provider. You as the owner of the number get a revenue share
for operating the line. You earn money on every incoming call to your
number.
Do You Have Any Ready made services?
Yes, we
have horoscopes, tarot, racing, joke, competitions, ring tones and
logos, and many more. Some even include their own web pages complete
with your number. For further details please go to the left sidebar
menu.
Do You Have Any
Text
services?
Yes.
These are becoming more and more popular and great revenue earners. We
are adding new services regularly and our current services include,
dating, lottery, horoscopes, football, etc.

please go to the left sidebar menu..
Do You Have Any Other Services Such as Chat And Adult
Lines?
We are unable to supply
these from this site.
However, we would ask you to visit our sister site:
www.adultnumbers.com
Adultnumbers.com has a complete selection of ready made services from
Adult & Non-Adult Chat lines, Live 1-2-1, Gay etc.
What is the
revenue share?
You will receive a set amount per minute for every call that is made to
your number. The amount depends on which tariff
and what service
you are operating.
We clearly
detail the amount you receive under each service.
How can I
promote my numbers?
No matter how good the idea for a Premium Rate line
is, it will not
make you much money if nobody knows it is there. The important thing is
that you promote your Premium Rate
Numbers and Services to
your customer base in every way you can.
If
operating a technical support or help line you can let customers know
the number, by putting it on all of your stationary, your website or
simply by telling them that this is now your new number for support.
For Ready Made Services
you simply advertise your service in newspapers, flyers, local press,
web sites, free papers, etc. Many of our clients make extremely good
money by setting up their own web sites, other advertise in the press.
It is your choice but we do know that there whether you want to provide
yourself with a full time or part-time income we provide the tools and
you can provide yourself with a substantial income. All we ask is that
you follow the ICSTIS Code when advertising as detailed below.
How do I get paid?
We send you a statement and you send us an
invoice and we send you a cheque. But for the exact procedure from
ordering to getting paid please see the 'How It Works' page by clicking
here or going to
it from the the left sidebar menu. Please also see our
Terms and Conditions
for full conditions as to their usage and operation.
Is there anything else I
should know?
If you
take a ready made service or choose to run your own that goes straight
to voicemail, you will be required to abide by the ICSTIS code when
promoting your service as explained below. Further, we will also
require you to sign our Signature form to state that you understand and
agree to abide by the code. If, the code is breached and ICSTIS impose
any fines, then the costs will be passed on to you.
Applicants
must fully familiarise themselves and agree to conform to the ICSTIS
Codes of Practise for Premium Rate Services when taking such a service.
Applicants must pay full attention that they do not break this code when
promoting their own service and give due consideration to proper
promotion with regard to stating the cost of the call, address or Post
Box No. etc. when advertising such a service.
If you require the use of our Post Box No. rather than use your own
address or one provided by the Royal Mail it is only £25.00. It will have your own code. Please note: This is not a mailing address, but one that you will be
able to provide on all your advertising so that you conform to the ICSTIS code.
The ICSTIS code applies
to all forms of promotion and advertising, be it on the Internet,
flyers, leaflets, or in newspapers, magazines or emails.
