We take compliance very seriously and work with our clients to ensure that all services are fully compliant, and numbers duly registered. We are proud of the fact that ATS services have never been sanctioned by the regulators – proof of our commitment to doing things the right way.

Premium rate services in the UK are overseen by an agency of Ofcom called PhonepayPlus (previously known as ICSTIS). Services in Ireland are regulated by Comreg, the Commission for Communications Regulation.

ATS has good working relationships with both agencies and our team can advise and share our experience with clients wishing to set up services.
