Introduction
Telephone numbers in the UK are set out in two sections: geographic (01 and 02) and non-geographic (03, 084, 087, 09, 118). As you would expect, geographic numbers are generally linked to a location. Non-geographic numbers, unlike geographic telephone numbers and the cost of calling non-geographic numbers, is not linked to a specific UK location i.e. a town. The costs of calling any non-geographic number can vary and you should always check the rates associated with these calls Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom .What are Non-geographic numbers
Non-geographic numbers include numbers beginning with ’03’, ‘084’, ‘087’, ’09’ or 118 . Sometimes, these numbers are called ‘Service’ or ‘Premium Rate Service’ numbers and have a two-part charge for calling them.Calls to 03 numbers
03 numbers are increasingly used by businesses as their main customer contact numbers and for business to business communication. Calls to 03 numbers have to cost the same as calls to 01 and 02 geographic numbers. So, we’ve included calls to these numbers as part of your package.What are Premium Rate Services (PRS)?
Premium Rate Services (PRS) are regulated by the Phone-Paid Services Authority and are sometimes known as Phone-Paid Services. These non-geographic numbers (those beginning 087, 09 & 118) can be used to make purchases and the charge is made to your phone bill. Numbers which support Premium Rate Services are often used to call services such as: recorded information, competitions, voting, directory enquiry information, advice or chat lines. Those companies providing these services, as mentioned above, are called Service Providers. It is important to note that calls to these services vary considerably and it is important to check the cost of calling to avoid large bills. Please see our price list Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom . The Service Provider should make it clear in their adverts the cost of making calls to their service. Sometimes, non-geographic Premium Rate Services are called Number Translation Services and the terms NTS and PRS are used interchangeably.Other non-geographic numbers begin:
- 0800 and 0808 numbers or ‘Freephone’ numbers are free to the caller from landlines and mobiles. These calls will not be shown on your bill.
- Texts or Short code numbers which can be 4, 5 or 6 digits in length are called SMS (Short Message Service) short codes. These are often used by businesses to allow customers to opt-in to SMS campaigns, alert services, or to enter SMS competitions. Like Premium Rate numbers, these may cost more to call/text than standard numbers. See our price list Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom .
- 070 referred to as ‘Personal Numbers’. These are often used as a ‘follow me’ service where calls are diverted from one number to another. Therefore, the person being called keeps their number private. 070 numbers differ from mobile numbers which usually begin with 071 to 075 or 077 to 079. See our price list Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom .
Cost of calling non-geographic and Premium Rate Service (PRS) Numbers
Calls to non-geographic numbers (calls beginning 084, 087, 09 and 118) are charged in two parts – the Access Charge and the Service Charge. The Access Charge is charged by us for originating and passing the call over our network. This charge is made at a pence per minute rate. See our price list Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom . The Service Charge is set and charged by the network operator who terminates the call and enables you to access the service (Service Provider) once your call is connected. This charge should be made clear and advertised by the Service Provider alongside their number. This charge is not set by Pozitive Telecom. Your cost for making a call to a non-geographic number is the cost of the Access Charge and the Service Charge together. Your invoice will show the charge for both elements. We will pass on the Service Charge to the Service Provider. You will be able to find all the relevant charges in our price list Terms & Conditions | Pozitive Telecom .Further detail regarding the cost of calling non-geographic numbers

Blocking Numbers calls
As the cost of calling numbers can be extremely expensive you may decide to block the ability to dial them. If anyone then tries to dial these numbers the call will not succeed and the cost will therefore be avoided. It does mean you will be unable to access the types of services highlighted above. To activate contact blocking please call Customer Services by:- Phone: 0333 370 6900

Phone-paid Services Authority (PSA)
The PSA is the industry regulator for all Premium Rate charged services and it publishes a Code of Practice for Service Providers and network operators using these PRS numbers. The Code also covers how these numbers should be advertised and how providers are responsible for complying with the Code. The PSA investigates complaints about the promotion and operation of services that involve the use of a telephone-based connection to access a Premium Rate number. These include connections from landline telephone, Voice-over-IP telephones, fax, Internet, mobile phone (voice and SMS) and interactive TV. The PSA’s service is free to consumers and is fully independent.How to complain to the PSA
The first step with respect to any complaint is to contact our Customer Service team, see the ways to contact the team above, to see if they are able to help. Alternatively, you can get in touch with the Service Provide and they should be able to discuss the charges with you. If you don’t recognise the number there is a service checker available from the PSA which can be found https://psauthority.org.uk/ Alternatively, you can submit a complaint to them:- Web: Using the online form found at https://psauthority.org.uk/for-consumers/report-an-issue

At Pozitive Telecom, we appreciate that everyone is different and circumstances change, be it long term or temporarily. We want the end-users of our services to receive the best possible service and we believe everyone should have quality access to connectivity in this digital age. To achieve this, we provide a number of services to support our customers and their employees or authorised users with diverse needs. This includes the needs of persons with disabilities, or those who, as a result of their circumstances, may be vulnerable in some other way. In this policy document, we refer to these persons as “Vulnerable Customers” or “you”.
This policy document states the services we offer to help make life better for everyone, including our Vulnerable Customers.
Identifying Needs
In order to offer a consistent service, it helps if we can record limited information on Vulnerable Customers with respect to the nature of their vulnerabilities and how we can help them better. We may need to ask permission to keep a record of this information, which will be recorded on our system for internal use. There is no strict definition of a Vulnerable Customer that is required to use our additional services. There may be a number of factors that could influence the cause of a vulnerability. Each one could be temporary or permanent, vary widely, and may not always be obvious. For example, a person may be vulnerable due to factors such as:- Age
- Physical or learning disability
- Physical or mental illness
- Low literacy skills
- Communication difficulties
- Changes in circumstances, such as bereavement or financial difficulties. Whilst not everyone with a disability is vulnerable and each person is different, we are ready to provide support services where needed. We would encourage Vulnerable Customers to inform our Customer Service team of their needs to ensure we can offer the appropriate services as soon as possible. Similarly, should a Vulnerable Customer feel the need to flag a change in circumstances, or otherwise update their records, they may contact Customers Services.
- Customer Services can be contacted in any of the following ways:
- Phone: 0333 370 6900

Our Services
It is important to note that access to landline or broadband services may not work if there is a power-cut or other power failure. If you rely on these services, in particular for access to emergency services (for example police, fire, ambulance or coastguard services), you should ensure that you have made alternative arrangements.

Examples would be where adverse weather such as storms or floods prevent repairs from being undertaken.
