Girl looking worried
Q: Still not sure how to use our service?
A: First, go to our call costs page and find the destination you want to call on the dropdown menu.  Dial the 08 or 09 number shown for it and you'll then hear a prompt asking you to dial the number you want to call.  Stay on the line, dial the telephone number you want to call and chat!
An example:  If you want to call China, you'd dial 0844 933 0222, listen for the prompt ("Please dial the number you wish to call"), then dial 00 for an international call, followed by 86 (which is the country code for China) and then the phone number of the person you want to call - so you'd dial 0844 933 0222 then 0086xxxxxxxxx.
If you are calling a mobile and there's a separate entry for them, then call the specific number shown for mobiles. If there isn't a separate entry for mobile phones, then you just dial the number shown for the country.  If you're calling a city and it has a separate entry and 08/09 number shown for it - then dial the number shown.

Don't worry, you're
in the right place!

Q: Can I use Call Through from a mobile or a pay phone?
A: Yes.  Mobile phone providers or pay phones may vary in their charges to our 08 or 09 numbers so please check with your provider first to check their charge.  If you are dialling from a mobile, please don't press the send button twice - so dial the Call Through number, press send once, then dial the international number you want to call but don't press send again.
Q: How do I pay for my call?
A: You will be billed for your call to our 08 or 09 numbers on your phone bill from your telephone supplier as normal.  The onward call to the international number you dialled is not an additional charge; you just pay for the call to our number and that's it.
Q: When does the call charge start?
A: It starts from the moment your call to Call Through is answered (when you hear the prompt asking you to dial the number you want to call) so if the person you're calling isn't in, don't let the phone ring endlessly as your phone provider will charge you for your call to our service.
Q: Will the international number I called show on my phone bill?
A: No.  Only the call to the Call Through number you dialled will be shown and charged for by your phone provider.
Q: Do I need any special equipment or anything?
A: No.  All you need is a phone that sends tone signals (most telephones do this automatically).  If you're unsure whether your phone is set to tone, press a number on the keypad. If you hear a beep then your phone is on tone, if you hear a click then it's on pulse and you will need to set it to tone (there's usually a switch on the bottom/ side of the phone or you may have to press # - check in the instruction manual for your phone).
Q: Do you have any extra charges at all?
A: No.
