Have you ever come across SMS or online invitations, such as the ones above, to participate in games/quizzes that sometimes promise you a chance to win attractive prizes? The services offered in these invitations are called Premium Rate Services (PRS). PRS refer to services that are sent to your mobile phone, usually via SMS messages, but cost more than your typical SMS messages. The charges may be applied on a subscription basis
(e.g. weekly or monthly) or for each SMS sent or received by you. Some examples are news alerts, quiz games, music download services etc.
