The fourth number of the new 090 codes indicates the potential type or cost
of the service.

The sub-structure of the new 090 dialling code is as follows:

0900/1 call cost up to 60p per minute with a maximum cost of £5.00;

0905/6 open-ended at any cost per minute, or fixed cost per call at any
rate

0907 pay-for-product services costing more than £1.00

0909 adult services at any rate

NB The codes 090 2, 090 3, 090 4 and 090 8 have not been allocated at
present and will be reserved for increased demand or new services.

All services over £1.00/min and certain services at £1.00/min will require
ICSTIS' prior permission before operating. All new live services require
ICSTIS' prior permission before operating, regardless of cost.

Sounds suspiciously like another mail virus to me...
