What are Premium Rate Numbers?
Premium Rate Numbers are special telephone numbers used for various services such as technical support, entertainment, or televoting, characterized by higher call charges. These numbers typically have unique prefixes that set them apart from regular numbers (For example, the most commonly used prefix in the Netherlands is 0900, also called: "0900 nummers")
A notable feature of these numbers is revenue sharing, where a portion of the call charges is shared with the service provider. Additionally, premium rate services are regulated by authorities to ensure fair practices and transparency. This regulation helps to maintain a balance between the service providers' benefits and consumer protection
