Ofcom moves regulation of 0871 Numbers to Icstis

As part of the changes to the UK National Numbering Plan and Number Translation Services (or NTS), Ofcom will extend the role of the premium rate regulator ICSTIS to include calls made to 0871 numbers.

This will happen at the same time as changes on 0870 Numbers (January, 2008). Ofcom will also extend ICSTIS's remit to include all adult services regardless of price. Any adult services currently provided on 08 numbers will have to move to the designated 09 ranges.

Call Share Revenue to end for 0870 Numbers

Ofcom has proposed some changes to the National Numbering Plan which will lower call charges to 0870 Numbers and end Call Share Revenue. These changes will come into effect sometime in January 2008.

As proposed in September 2005, Ofcom will require mobile and fixed-line providers (including payphones) to charge the same or less for 0870 calls as they do for national-rate calls to geographic numbers (starting 01 or 02). If providers wish to charge more for 0870 calls they will have to make a free-to-caller price pre-announcement at the start of the call.
