Written by Joshue O Connor Monday, 28 February 2011
NCBI Centre for Inclusive Technology have just completed an extensive accessibility audit of the ComReg website PhoneSmart. PhoneSmart provides consumers advice regarding Premium rate services.
Premium rate services (PRS) are goods and services that you can buy by charging the cost to your phone bill. You can charge these costs whether you have a landline or a mobile phone - whether you pre-pay your phone bill by buying credit or pay a regular, monthly bill.
Premium rate services typically offer information and entertainment services, which can be accessed through landline phones, mobile phones, fax, interactive digital TV, the Internet or an auto-dialler on a computer. Premium rate services are promoted in newspapers and magazines and on television, radio and the Internet. They can also be promoted directly to mobile handsets.
ComReg are committed to improving the accessibility of their services to ensure easy access to all users including people with disabilities.
