The future regulation of phone-paid services
Ofcom has published its consultation statement on the future of regulation of phone-paid services.
This follows the laying of the Regulation of Premium Rate Services Order 2024 before Parliament on 24 October.
The Order will come into force on 1 February 2025, when regulatory responsibility for premium rate services will formally pass to Ofcom.
We will communicate further regarding our plans to support the smooth transition of regulation in the coming days.
