Everything about calling Elizabeth Rose from abroad
Who Elizabeth Rose is, and why people call from abroad
Elizabeth Rose is a UK psychic reading service with a team of readers reached by telephone. Its premium phone line puts the cost of the reading on the caller's phone bill, advertised at £1.55 a minute plus the phone company's access charge, while a separate landline takes card payments through a receptionist. Regular clients who move or travel abroad look for the same premium line and discover it will not connect from a foreign SIM.
Why the 0906 line fails outside the UK
The 0906 range is UK premium-rate numbering. The service charge belongs to the number and is collected by the caller's UK phone company; that arrangement does not exist on a foreign network. So a mobile abroad either refuses the +44 906 format outright or, on some networks, connects it as a plain international call, billed at the international rate and with the reading itself left unpaid. The phone is not at fault; the number type is designed for callers inside the UK.
Where Losali stands on this range
Losali already connects browser calls to UK freephone, 03, geographic and 084 lines from any country. Premium-rate 09 numbers need one more step: because the organisation sets the service charge per number, anywhere up to £3.60 a minute, each line has to be priced with our UK carrier before Losali can offer it at a clear per-minute rate. Until that is done for this line, the Call button stays off and this page says so plainly.
- Callers must be 18 or over.
- Charges start when the call connects and include time in a queue.
- Elizabeth Rose also takes card payments on a standard landline, which is a different number type.
- Note the reader's name and the call time in case of a billing query.
Premium line or card payment: two ways in
Elizabeth Rose publishes both a premium-rate line and a card-payment landline answered by a receptionist. The landline is an ordinary UK geographic number, the number type Losali connects today at a flat per-minute price, and the reading is then paid by card rather than through the phone bill. If you are abroad now and want a reading, that route already works; the 0906 line is the one this page is waiting on.
Tips for calling a UK reading line from another country
Read the price per minute and the access charge before you dial; UK rules require them next to the number. Call within the service's UK hours, allowing for the time difference. Use a stable connection in a quiet place, and keep track of the call's start time so the minutes billed can be checked afterwards.
What kind of number is this?
09 premium rate. Premium-rate service: the organisation sets a service charge per number, up to £3.60 a minute, on top of the access charge. From inside the UK this line is advertised at £1.55 per minute, plus your phone company's access charge. Losali does not connect this range yet: the wholesale cost has to be measured with our UK carrier before a price can be set, so the Call button for this number stays off until then.
The ordinary-rate equivalent
Elizabeth Rose also publishes 01623 625 745, the ordinary-rate line for the same service, paid by card. That is geographic 01 / 02, a range Losali connects today, so you can reach it from your browser now at GBP 1.75/min, per whole minute, prepaid.
