phone

on yourself when it comes to regular dialing too.

Making the Call from your mobile
After topping-up you can make international calls from your mobile
any time you want. All you have to do is dial one of the access numbers
- 020 7124 6666 is probably best (read on for details) - followed
by your international number in full - remember not to press your send or call button again after you have dialed the
international number.
The access numbers your can use are 0207 124
6666 or 0800 594 6666 or 0845 451
6666.
Which access number should you use? The answer to
this will depend on which mobile network you are with and the specific
tariff plan that your network has you contracted to. For instance
- if you have bundled free minutes with your network then the 020
(London) number may be the best to use. Or - if your network allows
you to dial 0800 numbers for free (most charge 0800 at a special rate) then the 0800 number may suit you best.
Overall, we would recommend using 020 7124 6666 as it will most likely be cheapest for you
The DialAbroad Mobile service is very quick and
hassle free. There is even a simple trick that you can use to make
the dialing process completely seamless. There is no need for you
to dial both the access code and the full international number every
time you use the service.
Here's How You Do It:
Simply add a pause between the access number and the international
number you wish to dial:
For example: You want to call Mum in Australia. You
create a new entry called 'Mum' in your mobile's phone-book memory
and when entering the number:
1. Enter the DialAbroad Mobile
access number - 020 7124 6666 or 0800 594 6666 or
0845 451 6666
2. Enter a 'pause'. This can be done
easily depending on the brand of your mobile:
 |
Nokia Phones:
A 'p' will appear after * has been pressed 3 times.
Siemens/Panasonic
Phones:
A '+' will appear after 0 has been pressed and held.
Motorola / Sony Ericsson Phones:
A 'p' will appear after * has been pressed and held. |
3. Now enter your international destination
number in full including 00 and save.
That's it - next time you want to call up your Mum using
DialAbroad mobile service simply find 'Mum' in your memory and dial!

phone instruction manual or contact your phone manufacturer.
