Telephone number starting 09 - how much?

[zcacogp]

Chaps,

A quickie. I am trying to call an advice line (for central heating spares, but that's not relevant) and the telephone number 0906 302 0092.

How much do 09 numbers cost to call? I'm guessing rather more than 1p/minute ...

I believe a maximum of £1.50 a minute, but am ready to be corrected.

Doesn't the advert with the number have to show the cost per minute?

Thanks. I'm not sure what it is meant to show, but it doesn't give any indication of price at all.

BT, I believe, does give a schedule for how much phone charges are from their lines (as it varies by supplier) also 09 munbers vary in cost depending on the number after that. so a 090 number would be diferent from a 091 number.

My understanding of these lines is that they are required to advise you of the cost during the first few seconds of the call, which is free, giving you the choice to hang up.

Certainly that's what we had to do to run a UK premium rate support line.

Dobbo,

Thanks. I'll try calling it (I guess this is what work mobile telephones are for - eh?)

Have a look at the premium rate services regulator.

They have a search facility where you can enter a premium rate number.
