English term or phrase: personal rate number
Hi all, I found this in my sentence, and it seems there is a difference between "personal rate number" and "premium rate number", which I translated by "numéro d'appel surtaxé". Is there a real difference and what could be the translation in French?

Thank you in advance!

numéro d'appel personnel
Explanation:
Selon le lien ci-dessous : "070 phone numbers are intended to act as a forwarding service – known as personal numbers, they divert calls to the owner's location". "Phone numbers starting 09 are charged at a premium rate, and are the most expensive type of phone number to call. Premium-rate 09 phone numbers are often used for TV phone-in quizzes, which at least you have a choice whether to call or not".
Le système de numération français est différent. Les numéros d'appel personnels pourraient correspondre à des numéros en 08 (voir lien ci-dessous).
