Calling Internationally using a pre-paid account

 

This service allows our customers to make low cost calls to UK mobiles, landlines and International destinations, to both mobiles and landlines. To enable us to provide better rates, you have to pre-pay, with a minimum £10 top-up required via a credit card payment.

Our pre-paid service offers some significant advantages which very few other companies can match:

  • Per second billing on all calls. Minimum charge of 4p which is lower than BT and the Cable companies.

  • Low cost UK mobile and landline call charges. 

  • Many international destinations have the same rate for both mobile and landline calls.

  • Access numbers to allow you to use our services from almost any phone including BT and cable landlines, as well as all mobile phones.

  • Access numbers that will provide you with discounts on our rates in some circumstances.

Tips

To store numbers prefixed with our number in your mobile's phonebook, try adding a new entry such as 08717110700[Pause]07XXXXXXXXX, substituting X's for an actual number. On most mobiles a pause can be added to a number by pressing and holding the * key until the * changes to a square or a letter P. On Nokia phones you need to press the * key 3 times in quick succession to input a pause. A pause is needed to ensure you connect to our number before the phone dials the actual mobile number.

If you are using our services from you mobile, please ensure that you do not press the green/send key again after dialling the actual destination number, or you could be billed for two calls!

If you would like to be 100% sure about the cost of dialing these numbers from your mobile phone, we suggest that you make a 1 minute call and then call your mobile operator, or check your credit to find out how much you have been charged. If you are a pay as you go user, remember to make the test call after the initial expensive period in a day to ensure that your operator is applying the right rate to the call.
