See www.nanpa.com

Basically all premium rate numbers are in the 9xx code series and are properly disclosed as premium rate numbers paying for the service called.

Most sales and customer services numbers in the USA are on an 8xx series Freephone number.

Have you by chance heard of Google?  A few searches there and a read of the FAQs thread on this site might have answered many of your questions. Roll Eyes

You sound to me like someone who sells 084/7 numbers or operates a call centre that is on one and is looking for reasons to attempt to defend their existence?

Here in the US, there are no equivalents to 087 and 084 revenue-generating numbers - they simply do not exist. As already stated, UK 09x premium numbers are assigned the 900 "area" code. Another method for premium charging, which may or may not still be valid, is/was through the local exchange prefix 976 (eg 305-976-XXXX as a Miami number).

Consumer protection for premium numbering is very tightly regulated by the FCC in contrast to the cretinous organizations that oversee this "industry" in the UK.
