Would you like to know what premium rate phone numbers are? I guess everyone used these numbers at least once. These are text messages not included in the subscription and are not covered by the package of free SMS. Fee charged in the Premium SMS service applies only to services available within the special range of numbers, i.e. premium rate phone numbers. Premium rates phone numbers apply twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Fee for sending a single text message is the same for all users of mobile phones and does not depend on your plan or your operator. How does it work in practice? The user after sending a text message automatically receives a response that does not bear the additional costs. Premium rate phone numbers used for short messages are the most commonly used to contests, purchase a product, get a service or information on promotion, promote new products and services, to create customer bases, which are later used to carry out promotions and competitions targeted to a specific target group or to develop customer loyalty programs among the brand of a given product or service. So as you can see there are a lot of situations in which you can use these numbers.
