Premium Rate Services
Equipment and services to set up your own Premium Rate Telephone Facility.
Turning Incoming Calls Into Income!
Premium Rate is the term used to describe telephone calls, which are charged to the caller, at a higher rate than a normal telephone call. This extra cost is charged via the caller's telephone bill and shared between the Information or Service Provider and the Network Operator.
The premium rate services operated, vary from recorded information lines, customer andand technical help lines to competition and entertainment Lines and many other applications! Clients with their own premium rate services are known as Information Providers and receive a portion of the revenue distributed by the Network Operator.
What are the choices for operating a Premium rate service?
The prospective operator of a Premium rate service can choose between acquiring equipment and lines to run a service or alternatively using a hosted service, where the lines and equipment are provided.
The advantage of installing your own equipment is that you retain overall control and maximize your percentage of the revenue. A Premium rate line is the same as a normal telephone line, which means that your telephone supplier does not have to install special connections to your home/office and standard telephone sockets are used. The disadvantage of this route is that you have to make a capital commitment to purchasing the equipment.
The advantage of using a hosted service is that you do not need to make a commitment to purchasing equipment and lines, but the disadvantage is that your share of the revenue is significantly reduced.
