TPS has three easy to use and cost effective services aimed at smaller companies or individuals who are calling small volumes of numbers a month. If you rely on telemarketing but cannot justify the expense of database applications, these services allow you to maintain a competitive edge and keep within your legal requirements.

Online Interrogation

This service allows you to check up to 500 numbers a month through the TPS website for a minimum charge of £50.00 a month, subsequent checks cost 10p each. You are only billed for the month(s) that you use the service.

All you have to do is complete the online registration form on the Corporate TPS website.

You will then be contacted by phone for payment details, either direct debit or credit card details, then you will be issued with a password and username that any number of designated people in your company can use.

You will be charged monthly based on the number of searches done in the month or for the minimum charge of £50. You will also be able to access a confidential report showing the numbers searched and who made each request.

TPS Callgard

This is a call barring service, which can operate from your existing phone system and ensures that calls will generate sales and not complaints.

When you subscribe your company is given a special code, which limits usage to your company only. Each time you use this service the process is the same. Subscribers make a set up call to your TPS Callgard number, once connected you can then make as many telemarketing calls as you want. Each number is then screened against the TPS file and if the number is registered the call is barred, if the number is not registered the call goes through.

For a minimum charge of £50.00 you can check up to 500 numbers (additional numbers over this are charged at 10p per number).

Calls to Callgard are charged at BT's standard rate of 6.7p per minute to a landline and 20p per minute to a mobile. Call 0870 066 0771 for details.

TPS Telepath

This is a no contract, pay as you go service, which is available from any touchtone phone. You simply call 0906 686 6686 and key in the number you want to check. You will be informed whether the number is registered on TPS or not. You are also provided with a reference number for auditing purposes. On production of this we will be able to give you a report on the when the call was made to TPS Telepath and whether the number was registered or not.

All calls are charged at 25p per minute.
