All About Reverse Call Charges

Posted by Deepak Shrivastava

Reverse charge call is a phone call that requires the receiving party to pay for the call i.e. reverse call charges; it agrees to receive from the calling party. The reverse call charges are clearly mentioned to the called party and are charged through a Premium SMS after the conversation ends. There are number of companies that offer reverse call charge services in many countries including UK and USA where it is referred to as a collect call.

The growth of reverse call services is attributed mainly to the shortcomings of prepaid mobile phone accounts. While many people use prepaid mobile phones in order to counter the high roaming charges when visiting other countries, the costs associated with them are quite high, especially when you have to leave the country and still have some euros or pounds left in your account. This credit left on your prepaid phone will most likely expire before you revisit the country. This lost credit pushes up the costs of your prepaid phone calls. That’s why; many people prefer reverse call services over prepaid phones while visiting other countries. It is best for students who are usually on limited budget and need to make contact with friends and relatives when in a foreign country.

You can make 0800 reverse charge calls across the United Kingdom by using a landline phone, payphone and mobile phone. You can make these calls to any landline number and mobile number in UK. The only thing required is the person you are calling should accept the reverse call charges.
