The impact of the spending caps review on customers of premium rate services
PhonepayPlus' responsibilities include setting the maximum amount that PRS users can spend on a call.
Currently this limit is set at £30.65. Ofcom regulates the cap on the price per minute that service providers can charge; this is currently set at £1.53, but Ofcom has recently decided to increase this to £3.60. PhonepayPlus is reviewing overall spend limits. To support this process, PhonepayPlus asked Analysys Mason to research spending caps specifically in connection with „live‟ PRSs.
