Q1: What is the Private Call Service?
The Private Call Service numbers keep your personal phone number
hidden from other users of the website. We replace your phone numbers with
our own 070 number, which when called redirects customers to the phone numbers
you entered in your Account details.
Q2: How much does the call cost me?
People calling a PCS Number from a standard BT home or business phone
are charged at the BT rate of 50 pence per minute (ppm) at all times
Where callers use an alternative operator to make the call to a PCS
number the call will be charged at that operator's rate for calls to personal
numbering services.
The cost of calling a PCS Number from a mobile phone varies depending
on the mobile operator the call is being made through. Callers are encouraged
to confirm with their mobile operator the charge for calling a PCS Number
(PCS Numbers are those with the prefix 070). Mobile operators are obliged to
make their call charges readily available to their customers.
* Per second billing applies to calls to an PCS Number where the
operator used to make the call supports it *
Q3: If I call a PCS number will I get charged if no one answers the phone?
No, you only get charged if the call is answered, including an answer
machine or voicemail.
Q4: Do I have to pay for the PCS?
The customer calling the Private Call number pays for the call.
There are no other charges involved.
Q5: I don’t want a PCS number on my advert, can it be removed?
No, at UKAdCentre.co.uk we place private adverts free of charge, in
order to continue to do so we make a small amount of revenue from the 070
service that we now offer. This has also been welcomed for the privacy that
it now offers our Private advertisers.
Q6: Will it cost me more if I dial a PCS number from a mobile phone?
Yes, calling a PCS number from a Mobile Phone will cost you more than if
you called from a Land Line. The cost of calling a PCS Number from a mobile
phone varies depending on the mobile operator the call is being made through.
Callers are encouraged to confirm with their mobile operator the charge for
calling a PCS Number (PCS Numbers are those with the prefix 070). Mobile
operators are obliged to make their call charges readily available to their
customers
