Premium Rate Phonelines ??

I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or uses these for extra income? I was having a look at ways to make extra money and came accross various sites where you can set up your own premium rate lines,some like tarot readings and horse tips and already done for you all you have to do is advertise so people dial your number,some you set up yourself. It costs roughly £100+ to get your line and then the company take a bit from each call. It seems easy enough,what do you all think,is it just another money making scam:confused: x

    £100.....? You can get set up for free and yes, your provider will take a small cut each and every month... It's not an easy market to crack, there are plenty of people who have been down that road.

    5ringstelecom might set you up with it, give them a call.

    if you set one of these up for free the SP takes alot more than a small cut. i think its the more you pay to set it up the less % it takes
    If i upset you don't stress, never forget that god aint finished with me yet.
