Rejected petition abolish premium rate phone numbers
More details
The abolishment of premium rate phone numbers as the cost of phoning these are absurd, especially for people on low incomes, the unemployed, old age pensioners and members of the armed forces. They should be replaced with either standard local land line codes or free phone numbers.
