Premium rate numbers are revenue generators for many businesses.

Ringing premium rate numbers could cost you up to 10p p/min. 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.

Many businesses make enough money through these numbers to pay the salary of most of their staffs. I will look at this 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.

Some examples of premium rate numbers are 0845 numbers, 0844 numbers and 0871 numbers. These numbers these days are not only used by big businesses but small to medium sized businesses are also approaching these numbers. One example of making money is use this number as your technical support as many IT companies in UK currently do.. 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..

Another problem most of us have is it is very rare that calls to these numbers are free from your home telephone or work telephone like. That’s just through landline many mobile networks charge for calls to free numbers like 0808 and 0800 numbers so calling 0870, 0845, 0844 numbers will be even more expensive from mobiles. 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.
