0906 numbers are among the most familiar premium-rate numbers in the UK and have been used for services such as competitions, horoscopes, tips lines and technical support. They are part of the 090 range for premium-rate services other than sexual entertainment. Pricing must be shown clearly wherever the number is advertised, and the total cost of a call is the provider's service charge plus your own phone company's access charge. Some 0906 services charge a high fixed amount per call, so even a short call can be expensive. Be cautious about any voicemail, text or letter that asks you to ring an 0906 number back.
Letters or texts saying you have won a prize or must confirm a parcel delivery by calling an 0906 number are likely to be scams designed to generate premium-rate revenue.
Who called me from 0906?
The prefix tells you what kind of number it is (premium rate), but not who is behind it. Numbers can be ported between networks and caller ID can be spoofed, so a familiar code is no guarantee. Search the full number to see its current carrier, line type and whether other people have reported it.
