“Premium Rate Telephony is not used to make a profit except if it is to raise money for charitable purposes (see below).
* The BBC will use Premium Rate Telephony where it is the most suitable way to handle large volumes of calls effectively. The lowest viable tariff must be used. ITACU will advise on tariffs
* The only time, in exceptional cases, where we may use premium rate lines to raise money, is in order to raise funds for a BBC charitable initiative.”
