Get your own premium phone number!

Believe it or not there is a way to profit from phone callers!, and here's how too, more or less. This will cost you a one time setup fee tho, with no monthly fee. So if you don't wish to part with any money at all just skip right past this post!.

How it works...

1. Obtain a premium rate phone number that direct to your home line, keeping you home number secret.
   
2. When a company asks you for you phone number, pass out the premium rate one.
3. When ever they feel like phoning you up sit back and profit. On average it looks like you can make from about 4p/min while people calling the number are charged 10p/min.
   

This works for a number of reasons...

• Most company's that call you do it via staff who don't care what number they are phoning, its just there job to phone and do what ever there company campaign is. (e.g. offer upgrades, price cuts or sell you more junk etc)
  
• If a company really wants to contact you and they have the premium number but don't want to use it, they could always write to you instead!.
  

Things to think about...

• Should you get a strange look when handing out your premium number, point out there phone number on there helpline! (more than likely a premium number of sorts).

At the time of writing this, I myself have managed to set a premium number up for £11.69 (including vat). This number is redirected to my BT land line. The premium number starts with 0871.
Now when ever I enter a compo online, free promotion that seek my details or buy something from a company that wants my number, I hand out this number instead.
I will be making 4p/min should they call me on this number now, not bad for a tenner I say. Doing the sums, I need just under 293 min's (about 4.9hrs) of people talking on the number to make it pay for it's self. Anything after that is profit.

So you want to set one up for yourself?, if so then you can follow this link to where I bought mine from. Once there click the "0871 Numbers prices" at the bottom of the page.
