New Regulation in Belgium creates Chaos in most Carrier Offices
Some time ago we informed about a change in regulation of Belgian premium rate numbers. On 1st of April, 2008 most of the rules of the royal decree of April 2007 entered into force.
Some prefixes (077, 0903) are discontinued
New prefixes are introduced (0904, 0906, 0907)
The already existing limit of maximum call duration was changed from 30 minutes to 10 minutes, with the service provider responsible to cut the call after that time. The maximum call duration is not applicable for 070 numbers.
A free tariff announcement has been introduced. Is is obligatory
- for all 090x numbers over 1 € per call or per minute
- for all 070 numbers over 0,30 € / minute (landlines) or 0,60 € / minute (mobiles) (This was already introduced in 2007)
We will do this tariff announcement for our clients free of charge.
The changes caused a lot of confusion and at the moment we still are not able to offer most tariffs. We will keep our website up do date and add tariffs as soon as information comes in.
