{wiki=Premium-rate_telephone_number}
A premium-rate telephone number is a special type of phone number that is used for services that incur a higher charge than a standard call. Typically, these numbers are used for services such as technical support, adult entertainment, psychic services, or other types of entertainment and information services. The additional charges for calls to these numbers are often shared between the service provider and the telecommunications network, allowing the service provider to generate revenue from the calls.
