You decide the price and the VAT rate on your Premium Rate Number based on which product or service you sell. You can choose to charge a certain price per call or a certain price per minute. If you choose the price model “price per minute” the call can cost a maximum of 1000 SEK, and is ended automatically when the limit is reached.

If you choose the price model “price per call”, you can charge a maximum of 200 SEK per call. We can offer higher amounts depending on the type of product or service you sell.

The customer price for the call is always automatically announced to the customer when they call the Premium Rate Number, the price announcement is free of charge. The consumer must confirm that they approve the price for the call by pressing “1″. Within the service you can use a customized introduction prompt with your company name. You can also choose to increase security by having the price repeated or the consumer entering their year of birth before charging.

Payment

Payment for traffic is made to your business account 40 days after the month-end. If you wish to receive payment faster, we offer the additional service Advance Payment, we then pay out your generated income within 10 banking days instead of 40. After each month-end, we send you a settlement note where traffic, your generated income and our charges are specified. The charges are offset directly against the income on the same invoice – simple and efficient.
