Traditional premium rate services consisted of a passive recorded message (audiotext) to which the customer listened at a premium 'per-minute' rate. Audiotext is still an option, but with the advent of sophisticated call switching and computer-telephony integration (CTI) systems, modern premium rate services can be highly complex multi-tiered menu IVR systems based on back-end databases.
After collecting account details from the customer and interrogating a billing database for the account balance, such systems are often used for collecting credit/debit card details to settle a bill (Council tax, Utility bills etc.),
