It jolly well is premium rate, if you use a mobile.

It's "more expensive" which is not the definition of "Premium Rate".

A LOT more expensive, mainly by not being included in packages but also
including higher charge rates where charged.

Anything's a lot more than "free" (in a bundle), but it would be
unfortunate if they charged much more per minute than ad-hoc geographic
minutes from the same company. Which seems to be the case with mine
(Virgin): normal calls are 21p/min and 0845 etc[1] are 41p. Although new
users seem to pay 31p & 41p respectively.

[1] What they call "toll rate" numbers.
