International Premium Rate Numbers and text messaging are a modern and popular payment method which is used for charging a range of content, goods or products over the telephone. This kind of payment is possible to use for all micropayments in real-time without requiring a credit card or bank account. In addition, IPRN provides billing straightaway, not to mention confirmation of the payment process in real-time. IPRN are used extensively for online transactions as well as payments on mobile devices thanks to the speed of payments.
IPRN present an alternative to credit card payments, internet payment portals and bank transfers. IPRN guarantee a high degree of security to its users since it avoids the need to disclose personal details or credit cards numbers. IPRN payments also offer a high degree of anonymity. IPRN payments are used for services used during the call already such as live conversation or recorded content. Typical IPRN service providers include TV stations, radios, internet portals, social network portals, newspapers and magazines, marketing agencies, education companies, etc.
PRN are telephone numbers used for telephone calls where certain services are provided, and for which higher than average costs are charged. A part of the call is paid, unlike a normal call, to the service provider allowing business to be funded via calls. Although the billing differs, calls are usually routed in the same way as is performed for a toll-free telephone number, irrespective of the location and area code used. These telephone numbers are usually assigned from a national telephone numbering plan in a way which makes them stand out from other numbers. The blocking services which make it possible for telephone customers to block access to these number ranges from their telephones are often provided by telephone companies. In some jurisdictions, telephone companies are required by law to provide this kind of blocking.
Premium Rate Numbers are also frequently used for providing education, entertainment and tech support. Directory enquiries, weather forecasts, competitions and voting (especially relating to television shows) are some of the other services typically offered. Diplomatic services, such as the UK Embassy in Washington and the US embassy in London, also have charged premium rates for calls coming from the general public.
In some European countries it is not uncommon for organizations to operate customer service lines on Premium Rate Numbers using prefixes outside the scope of the country’s Premium Rate Numbers regulations. This means that unlike North America, where customer service numbers are usually offered at no cost to the caller, consumers in some European countries frequently pay a premium higher than the cost of a typical telephone call.
International Premium Rate Numbers are an alternative option to official Premium Rate Numbers and they are used in countries where domestic PRN are for some reason not accessible. The main benefit of International Premium Rate Numbers is their great accessibility. Domestic Premium Rate Numbers are always available only from the country of their origin, while International Premium Rate Numbers can be accessed from almost anywhere in the world.
