0871 numbers
0871 numbers are used to provide business rate services which allow the user of the number to receive a share of the call charge. Therefore, calls to these numbers are likely to be more expensive than the cost of calling geographic numbers.
Calls to 0871 numbers cost up to 10p per minute from landlines but will vary depending on your phone company or if using a mobile.
At present, PhonepayPlus only regulates premium rate sexual entertainment and Internet dialler services on 0871 numbers. However, we will begin regulating all other services operating on 0871 number ranges in early 2008.
