Thanks for this info, i didn't realize PhonepayPlus had such varied regulatory powers to be honest, but does this just cover stuff that is advertised and promoted etc when you pick the phone up ?, or does it cover phone pricing information, honest advertising and appropriate and targeted promotions shown on screen as well ?, or is this Ofcom's job to regulate stuff concerning phone promotions and pricing details and various phone line adverts that are shown on TV ? .

To quote Ofcom themselves, this how they explain what they do.
"We keep an eye on the UK's telecoms, television, radio and postal industries to make sure they're doing the best for all of us"
I'm sure many in here may not share that sentiment!
Under the Communications Act 2003, Ofcom has responsibility for the regulation of premium rate services. In December 2007, it was confirmed that PhonepayPlus will act as the agency which carries out the day-to-day regulation of the PRS market on Ofcom's behalf.
