How Does A Premium Rate Telephone Service Work?

How To Establish Your LIVE Clairvoyant Premium Rate Service!
As an established telephone service bureau we can provide everything you require to set up your own live clairvoyancy telephone service on premium rate numbers. This means you can now promote your services nationally and have the calls delivered to your home, business or any number you wish.

Why You Should Provide A Live Service
There are three main reasons to consider;

• First it’s more personal than a recorded service. You have direct contact with your callers, you have the opportunity to establish a lasting relationship with your callers.
• Secondly the call duration. Live conversations last much longer than a pre-recorded service. On average callers to a live service stay on line for at least 15 minutes – recorded services struggle to average 3 minute hold times.
• Finally, for recorded services you could not charge more than 75p a minutes, whilst live services have no difficulty attracting many more callers at £1.50 per minute. Clearly if you are seeking to maximise your income a live service must be the right choice.

So Why Doesn’t Everyone Offer A Live Service
Quite simply because of the many regulations governing live premium rate services laid down by Phonepayplus - the regulators for the premium rate industry.

Rules and Regulations
All premium rate services are strictly regulated by ICSTIS. In particular live premium services are covered by the ICSTIS code of practice. In order to set up such a service - you are required to pay a £5,000 bond to ICSTIS which they retain as security against you breachingb their regulations. In addition ICSTIS insist that you invest in recording equipment costing over £10,000 – this enables them to monitor your service.

So unless you are willing to invest over £30,000 before you get started offering a live service simply is not available to you. PPS as a service bureau have already made this investment and can therefore you the opportunity to have a live service for a fraction of the real cost. In fact you don’t have to invest a penny. For a one time fee of just £99.00 you can enjoy all the advantages of offering a live service without any of the normal investment.

Recording Of Calls
To comply with ICSTIS rules we are required to record all conversations delivered to your premium rate service. This is for your protection as well as callers. Thus, if caller later denies having made a call to you and wishes to dispute their phone bill - we can produce the recorded conversation from our archives.

• Caller is charged at £1.50/min
• You receive £1.10/min
• British Telecom retain 35p/min
• 5p is retained to cover operating costs
