09 Numbers
Premium rate numbers
UK telephone numbers beginning '09' are higher-cost numbers used for information lines, competitions, television voting and adult dating or entertainment services.
Typical charges vary from a 10p per call charge up to £1.50 per minute from a BT line. Mobile phone operators usually charge more.
Any 09 number advertised should also feature a clear indication of how much it costs to call.
PhonepayPlus is the regulator for these numbers. Their website can identify premium rate numbers and advise further on costs.
