900 number

(Redirected from 1-900)

A 1–900 telephone number, in the North American Numbering Plan, usually has the form 1–900-###-####. A call to one of these numbers can result in a high per-minute or per-call charge. For example, a "psychic hotline" type of 1–900 number may charge $2.99 for the first minute and 99 cents for each additional minute. Phone lines can be configured to prevent the dialing of a 900 number.

Some uses of 1–900 numbers:

  • Video game tips
  • Horoscopes/psychics
  • Dating/party lines
  • Erotic one-on-one chats
  • Voting (e.g. for TV shows)
  • Contests
  • Sometimes, they have 800 number standards, but charge toll.

In the United Kingdom, any telephone number starting 09 is charged at premium rates, in a similar fashion to a 900 number in North America.
