call forwarding for 09 premium rate numbers

[CygnetStar]

Hi There

Does anyone know if it is possible to redirect/forward/divert a UK based 09 premium rate number overseas?

I am quite sure that it can be done with 0845 and other non geographic numbers but I was wondering if it might be possible to do this with the premium rate numbers.

Having searched companies available services online and looked through this great website I have still not been able to find any answers to my questions. I have emailed companies that might do it but alas still no replies....maybe I shall have to call their numbers!

Anyway thanks for a great forum

Hi

Yes you can divert these numbers overseas.

I am a Utility Warehouse Distributor and I have checked with my head office and they have said it is depending on your providor, but this is possible.

I am unable to help as we do not do the 09 numbers.

Wishing you all the best.

09 numbers are Premium Rate numbers and are heavily regulated. To get one you have to explain what you need it for and what you'll do with it. So long as you can show that what you want to do is legitimate you can divert it. You need to talk to the regulator:

Why do you need to talk with the regulator? They can't help and certainly don't provide 09 numbers.
Talk to a premium rate number provider and they will tell you what you can and can't do,try 2ergo Plc, one of the big players in the market.

thank you for your replies guys

does anyone know of other companies that will manage these international diversions?

I get the impression that 2ergo plc are not specifically involved with the hands-on diversion of PRS types of numbers. Most companies I have contacted will deal with 070, 0845 number diversion but I have yet to find one that deals with 090 numbers.

as far as Phone Pay Plus are concerned - they have been excellent in advising what I can and cannot do with regards to content and the provision of the service to consumers/end-users but I have not yet been able to ascertain yet if I can have my number forwarded overseas.

once again, much obliged for your assistance!
