Premium Rate and Non-Geographic Phone Numbers
Premium Rate Phone Services
Premium rate numbers beginning 1900 are used for premium rate services charged to the caller's telephone bill, which provide content, products or services.

Such services include phone competitions, charity fundraising lines, mobile phone entertainment content such as ringtones, wallpaper and videos, technical support helplines, TV program votelines and interactive TV games, information lines such as horoscopes and sports results.
Price Points
Premium rate lines can run at various tariffs accommodating a variety of price points for products and services. The charges incurred by the caller are charged to their phone bill with the Networks returning a portion of the charge to X-on and subsequently to the service provider.
Non-Geographic Phone Numbers
Non-Geographic Numbers (NGN) such as 1300, 13 and 1800 numbers, are not considered premium rate numbers, but are instead used to convey a company national presence as the numbers are not tied to any geographic region. The cost to the caller of calling a non-geographic number varies, dependant on the number used, and the charges can be used to offset the cost of the number itself and any services associated with the number, such as call management and virtual PBX. In some cases calls to the number can generate revenue, dependant on the costs of any associated services.
Unlike premium rate numbers, non-geographic numbers can be dialled from all landlines and mobiles, not being excluded in some plans.
