Question
I am interested in starting a premium rate service, but have this dilemma which I very much hope you can help me with. I want to have a international premium rate phone number in the UK, I say international because I want access to this number from the Rep of Ireland, and only the Rep of Ireland, I understand how premium rate works with in the UK, but am not clear on international premium rate numbers from Rep of Ireland to the UK. I have seen the international premium rate number 00290…. from the Rep of Ireland to the UK, and would like if you could tell me how I to can get a 00290…. number, and what revenue could I expect from a 00290…. number, and wouid that international premium rate number be subject to the regulator in the UK if its not a live service.
I would be so grateful to you if you answer these questions clearly for me.
Answer
The best option is to get an Irish premium rate phone number and then have the calls delivered through to your location in the UK – for details of operating a premium rate phone service in Ireland contact Regtel – details for this can be found at http://www.premiumphoneservices.com/articles/premium-rate-phone-regulators/
This way you will get a much better payout rate than using an 00 290 phone number.
