Premium 09 Numbers
Premium-rate 09 numbers for PSA-registered services - professional advice, competitions, live voting, technical helplines and monetised content lines - with the correct provisioning, compliance registrations and payout arrangements in place.
About premium 09 numbers
Premium 09 numbers only make commercial sense where the caller receives a valuable service that justifies the per-minute cost - specialist professional advice, technical helplines, adult services, competitions and voting - and where the caller is well informed about the price before they call.
Every 09 service must be registered with the Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA) and comply with its Code of Practice. That covers pricing disclosure, call barring options, service description, complaints handling and vulnerable-caller protections.
Telappliant provisions 09 numbers, arranges PSA registration on your behalf, structures the payout arrangements with our carrier partners and provides the compliance monitoring you need to demonstrate ongoing PSA compliance to auditors.
For most businesses, 09 is not the right choice. If you are exploring monetising expertise or content by phone, we will help you compare 09 to lower-friction alternatives (subscription, per-minute paid platforms, Stripe-metered voice) before you commit.
