TV3 Psychics Live *****VICTORY THREAD******

from Ts & Cs
9. Each Caller may participate in the Shows and/or make calls as many times and be on the line till 24,6 minutes as this reach the €60 termination point.

.BrianJM

...and from ComReg:

5.4 Except where otherwise provided for in the Code, all end-users of PRS that are accessed and/or charged by a premium rate number must be notified of the applicable charges* on connection and as soon as they have incurred €30 on a call, be required to actively confirm that they wish to continue the call. The call must be terminated after the end-user has incurred €60 on a call. End-users may then call a service back at this point, should they wish to continue using it. For the avoidance of doubt, where a PRS is operating on a number that costs €1 per minute, the call must be terminated at 60 minutes; 40-minute termination at €1.50 per minute, and so on. *Please note: any additional network charges that may be added on to the per minute charge of the call, outside the control of the PRS Provider, are not included as part of this rule and are not, therefore, something that PRS Providers are considered to be responsible for under the Code. 5.5 Where there is a requirement that a call is to terminate at the expiration of a fixed period of time or charge, the PRS Provider must effect termination within the time or monetary limit so fixed.

The ComReg document takes a lot of reading because it covers so much. How people interpret it could vary.

So, in theory I could keep ringing all day and night and and there's no limit to how many phone calls I make, the only cap in place is the €60 limit, and then I can ring again?? :eek: Ah lads...:mad:

Not quite:

5.46 PRS Providers operating Live Services must take all reasonable steps to identify and terminate calls being made without the authority of the bill-payer. At a minimum, the following procedure must be implemented by operators: (a) any caller who appears to be using the service excessively, either by making a large number of calls, or one or more very long call(s), must be warned by the operator of the potential costs of the call(s). This also includes any caller who appears to be calling from work, where the service could not reasonably be considered to be work-related, and (b) having received a warning, a caller who stays on the line must be asked whether he/she is responsible for paying the telephone bill or whether he/she has the bill-payer's permission to use the telephone. If there is any reason for the operator to doubt the truth of the response, then the call must be terminated by the operator immediately.

Like I said, there's a lot of reading.

I really think most of the older callers just want to hear a friendly voice,rather than any real interest in their ''future, career, or love life''.
But just how many huge phone bills do you have to get before you realise you're being scammmed? And is there really so many people out there who don't recognise a rip-off when they see it? MABS or V de P must surely be aware of what's going on here.

I know they probably couldn't do anything, spook, but they have access to the media, like maybe 'Lifeline' or Marion Finucane
