Is 1800 No free?

Calls to 1800 numbers are free, and calls to 0818 numbers cost the same as calling a landline number. Previously, many people avoided calling 1850, 1890 and 076 numbers because they thought they were confusing and expensive. These numbers have now been withdrawn from service.

Introduction Premium rate phone services are services you can pay for using your phone credit or phone bill. Premium rate means the numbers cost more to call or text than other numbers. Examples of premium rate phone services include: TV voting

Charity donations

Quizzes and competitions

Ringtones and wallpapers Premium rate phone services (sometimes called Information Services) have a unique ‘15’ prefix, for example, 1530 or 1515. There are also Premium Rate SMS Services (known as PSMS) and these are recognised by a 5-digit Short Code beginning with the number 5. Non-geographic numbers (such as 1800 numbers) A non-geographic number (NGN) is a phone number that is not linked to a specific geographic region or ‘area code’. An NGN is any phone number beginning with 1800 and 0818. NGNs are not premium rate phone services. Calls to 1800 numbers are free, and calls to 0818 numbers cost the same as calling a landline number. Previously, many people avoided calling 1850, 1890 and 076 numbers because they thought they were confusing and expensive. These numbers have now been withdrawn from service. Read about how ComReg simplified calls to NGNs. Cost of premium rate phone services You can access premium rate services through: Fixed-line phones (landlines)

If a service requires you to receive a price warning when you spend a certain amount, you must be notified when you spend that amount. Service providers must provide a consumer helpline with a live operator to handle consumer queries and complaints. This helpline must operate during normal office hours How to make a complaint If you have a complaint or concern, first contact the premium rate service provider with your complaint. If you are not satisfied with their response you can make a complaint to ComReg. Complaints must be made within 9 months of use of the service, however, exceptions to this rule are at the discretion of the Regulator. All complaints are dealt with in confidence.
