Using chargeable services means calling or sending a text message to a premium-rate service number. Chargeable services also include mobile payments, a payment method in which purchases are billed on a phone invoice.
You can restrict the use of a corporate subscription for chargeable services by setting the service number and SMS barring in OmaElisa for Companies. You can choose from four barring categories based on the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency’s regulations, selecting the one that best suits you or your company. All barring categories allow calls to the emergency number 112.
In addition to service numbers, you can also restrict the use of the subscription abroad. You can block calls made abroad, usage abroad, and data transfer abroad. More information is available in the guide Restricting subscription use abroad.
Examples
- With mobile payments, products and services can be purchased and paid for using mobile devices without separate authentication. The payment is approved during the purchase on the service provider’s website or app, and the cost is charged on the phone or mobile broadband invoice.
- Many service providers offer service text messages that allow various services to be ordered to a phone. These services may include games, competitions, and voting. Orders can be made either as one-time purchases or ongoing subscriptions. Activating an ongoing subscription usually requires registration for the service. Registration can be done either on the service provider’s website or using a personal mobile phone.
