Premium Rate Phone Charges and Revenue Sharing Numbers within the NHS

Premium rate numbers are revenue generators for many businesses. Ringing premium rate numbers can cost up to ten pence per minute. One phone call of over five minutes can generate businesses 5p per/min at peak rate. For the whole year in average this can bring in approx £300,000 as big businesses deal with at least 3000 calls per day. This amount generated can help businesses pay off the salaries of most people working for them. This can be seen as a negativity and also positivity as this is an area of opportunity to build your business and take it to the next level if your business provides the services which people require in their daily life because they will for sure ring these numbers even if it costs them.

Some examples of premium rate numbers are 0845 numbers, 0871 numbers and 0844 numbers. Most businesses these days are targeting this number as it is an opportunity to generate money. One simple example using these premium rate numbers to generate revenue is to use this number for helpline or technical support as most IT companies in the UK. Then calling for technical support can take from 30 - 60 minutes including being in the cue till the next helped is available, explaining your problem and then fixing it..

It is very rare that phone calls to these numbers are all inclusive in your landline contract unlike phone calls to local numbers or even mobile numbers. Mobile Networks do not even provide free calls to free numbers like 0808 and 0800 numbers so calling 0870, 0845, 0844 numbers will be more expensive. BT and some other network providers are starting to include 0845 and 0870 in some of their packages but do not apply to 0844 and 0871 numbers.
