How the Service Works
The iCallAbroad UK Mobile service is very easy to use - and you can start using it right now! Here's how.....
Step 1 - Making the Top-up
Text us the message CALLUK to the short number 80550 (£5 top up). This text will cost you £5, and you will then be sent two messages back that will be billed to your current mobile phone provider and will cost £2.50 each.
Once you receive these messages back, you are ready to use the service.
Step 2 - 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 - 0207 124 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
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 0207 number may be the best to use. Or - if your network allows you to dial 0800 numbers for free (many charge for a standard national rate call) then the 0800 number may suit you best. However, please not that dialing from the 0800 number will result in a raise in rates of 2p/ minute.
To get the best possible value from iCallAbroad UK Mobile please check your personal charging structure with your mobile network. Your network will be able to tell you which of the above access codes will be the cheapest for you to use.
