    Is providing a service a requirement of having a premium rate number or can anybody have one?

    Why do people use disclaimers in advertisements then?

    How do you mean?

    This guy set up a premium rate number to get his back on cold callers.
    The person who is calling you is paying a service charge on top of their phone bill. They are paying you money simply by phoning you . Where is the contract/service?

    Theres regulations on the matter. I don't have time to read it but that link should explain something to you.

    I believe that from a contract perspective they are paying for you to answer the phone. You accepted by answering the phone.
