Answer – all premium rate calls are charged per minute. So if [...]]]> Question - can premium rate phone calls automatically be capped at £30 , i.e. if the caller was charge £1.50/min, but reached the £30 the caller wouldn’t be charged more than £30 even if the call went on more than the 20 or 30 min.

Answer – all premium rate calls are charged per minute. So if the call lasts 20 minutes and is charged at £1.50/min – the cost to the caller will be £30. If the call lasted 19 minutes the caller would be charged 19 X £1.50/min = £28.50.

So the answer is no – calls cannot be capped – they are charged always on a per minute basis.
