 | | The issuing of these numbers to service providers is typically regulated by a national body, such as ICSTIS (the Independent Committee for the Supervision of Standards of Telephone Information Services) in the United Kingdom, to ensure certain community standards are adhered to both in terms of content and price. | | | Sometimes, these have 800 number standards, but charge a toll. | | | Unlike a normal call, part of the call charge is paid to the service provider, thus enabling businesses to be funded via the calls. |
