PRS SERVICES are only available in the UK
What are PRS Numbers?
Premium Rated Numbers are Non-Geographic number ranges provided by national telecommunication companies (PTT) which carry a higher charge rate, and provide a payback to the service
provider on a per second billing for every call made.
Why use PRS numbers?
PRS numbers offer an alternative method of paying for telecom services by the end-user. The main benefits are:
- Payment is paid by the caller on their normal phone bill (e.g. BT bill) at the end of the month
- PRS service is available for the user to use whenever they need, with no need to pre-purchase the service or set up an account
- The end-user knows exactly what they are paying for, as the first voice prompt on PRS service will announce the charge rate
- PRS service offers the reseller a secure payment method, where the payback collected by BT is passed on to IDN and IDN will then forward the payment to the reseller
