Template:PremiumCallChargeUK/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:PremiumCallChargeUK.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

The following template aims to standardise premium rate call charge information across various United Kingdom articles.

It should be applied only on UK telephone numbers starting +44 84x (084x), +44 87x (087x), +44 9xx (09xx), or 118xxx.

Format

{{PremiumCallChargeUK|A|B}}

There are two parameters – the first, A, is to indicate the service charge per call, while the second, B, is to indicate the service charge per minute. In some cases, both may be relevant. In every case, callers will also pay an access charge levied by their own phone provider.

Where a value is placed in either of the two parameters, it will consist of the pound (£) or pence (p) sign and one or more digits (0 to 9), and sometimes a decimal point (.), or will be otherwise left blank.
