SkypeOut Premium - call UK premium rate numbers with Skype

Updated, 19th December 2008: Calls to UK premium rate numbers are currently disabled.

We've just launched SkypeOut Premium, which lets you call UK premium rate numbers (the ones starting with 09) with Skype. These numbers are used for a huge range of services, from weather forecasts to relationship advice.

You don't need to do anything differently to calling any other number with SkypeOut. Just make sure you have some SkypeOut credit, and dial the number in Skype as normal.

Don't forget that these premium rate numbers cost more to call than normal landlines or mobiles, so check the rate chart before you call.

The numbers themsleves aren't operated by Skype, obviously, so if you have a problem with one of the services you'll need to contact the company which operates it. The regulator ICTSIS can also help if you get into difficulties.

If you'd like to block or unblock access to premium rate numbers, you can do that from your account page.
