What is UK Premium Service?

You may see "UK Premium Service" as a calling destination when buying a prepaid phone card. UK Premium Services are services that you dial-in to at a higher rate (i.e. your landline or mobile will be billed more for that call). A more technical definition can be found at the bottom of this post.

UK Premium Services Include

• Customer Help Lines
  
• Fax Backs
• Competitions
• Sports Tipster
• Live Information
• also data, customer enquiry, information, Tarot, Horoscopes, Psychic lines & many, many more uses

*What's a "Fax Back": Great question, the owner of the premium service actually makes money for every fax that's sent to that number. i.e. -- Fax your contest entry to 090-xxx-xxx --
