Find out about access charges

Modified on Tue, 19 Aug at 10:58 AM

All calls to premium rate telephone numbers are made up of two parts:

1. Service Charge

This is what Customer Enquiries Service Ltd have charged you to use the service.

2. Access Charge

This is what your phone company has charged you for connecting to the service and is not charged by Customer Enquiries Service Ltd. This is generally around 50p per minute for mobile users (up to 73p per minute) and 12p for landline users.

Customer Enquiries Service Ltd has no control over the access charges that are added to your phone bill and as such you should contact your phone company for a refund of this charge.
