Equipment & services to set up your own Premium Rate Telephone
Facility.
Turning Incoming Calls Into Income!
|
Premium Rate is the term used to describe telephone calls, which are charged
to the caller, at a higher rate than a normal telephone call. This extra cost
is charged via the caller's telephone bill and shared between the Information
or Service Provider and the Network Operator.
The premium rate services operated, vary from recorded information lines, customer
& technical help lines to competition and entertainment Lines and many other applications!
Clients with their own premium rate services are known as Information Providers
and receive a portion of the revenue distributed by the Network Operator.

What are the choices for operating a Premium rate service?
The prospective operator of a Premium rate service can choose between acquiring
equipment and lines to run a service or alternatively using a hosted service,
where the lines and equipment are provided.
The advantage of installing your own equipment is that you retain overall control
and maximize your percentage of the revenue. A Premium rate line is the same as
a normal telephone line, which means that your telephone supplier does not have
to install special connections to your home/office and standard telephone sockets
are used. The disadvantage of this route is that you have to make a capital commitment
to purchasing the equipment.
The advantage of using a hosted service is that you do not need to make a commitment
to purchasing equipment and lines, but the disadvantage is that your share of
the revenue is significantly reduced.
