Premium rate
A 09/087 number that lets you charge callers directly for the call itself, with a share of that revenue paid back into your wallet.
Premium rate numbers turn the phone line itself into a revenue stream — instead of just costing you money to run, a 09 number earns money per minute or per call, paid automatically into your wallet.
They suit services where the call itself is the product: expert advice lines, competitions, adult entertainment lines, or specialist support where charging per minute is the natural pricing model.
Because these numbers carry real consumer-protection weight, UK telecom regulation requires the number holder to carry their own Ofcom registration before the line can be unbarred — Numbers Connect handles the routing and metering, but that registration has to be yours.
Example use
A horoscope and tarot advice line runs on a 090 number charged at £1.50 a minute. Numbers Connect meters every call automatically and pays the line's share of that revenue straight into the business's wallet — no separate billing platform, no manual reconciliation.
