    Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this enquiry so if I'm in the wrong place can a mod move it or someone direct me to the proper forum.

    Who operates the premium rate lines in Ireland? I'm talking about ones such as competition phone lines, sex chat lines or voting lines for programmes such as X Factor, The Voice etc.
    Who would I contact to get some info on these type of lines? I was thinking Comreg but are they just a regulatory body?

    Thanks

    Yup, ComReg took over the regulation role from RegTel a while back. They're now responsible for premium rate (SMS short codes and phone lines). So, if it's a regulation/abuse query, contact them. If it's a question about availing of a number, you can contact any number of telcos (eircom, BT, etc.) who provide premium numbering services. You can find all such operators on ComReg's site.
