Background of 087x and 070x UK DID purchased on DIDX
(All DIDX buyers of 087x and 070x UK DID purchased on DIDX are subject to compliance with the following.)
This statement sets out the obligations of the DIDX Buyer when purchasing 0871, 0872, and 0873 United Kingdom number ranges (collectively referred to as 087x numbers) and 070 United Kingdom number ranges.
Where number ranges are opened up in the future on 087x and designated by Ofcom as Controlled Premium Rate Services and are to be regulated by PhonepayPlus, references in this statement to 087x numbers shall apply to those number ranges.

DIDX Buyer must ensure that all users of premium rate services are fully informed, clearly and straightforwardly, of all cost of using the service prior to incurring any charge. Written pricing must be easily legible, prominent, horizontal, and presented in a way that does not require close examination. Spoken pricing must be easily audible and discernible.
