Do I need international dialing ability on my phone?

No - GSM Call saves you hundreds of dollars in deposits with your local phone company, because you do not need international phone service attached to your home or mobile phone to use our service.

How do I use SMS based calling?

It's Simple!!! Just send a blank SMS (text message) from your phone to one of our many gateways. You'll receive your call in as little as 30 seconds. Then follow the voice prompt messages.

How do I use Digital Home based calling?

All you need to do is to connect your phone to our Digital Converter box, then use it as a regular phone and enjoy the savings. Simply dial 00+countrycode+number. This is to be used for international service only, not local dialing.

What do I need to use Digital Home based calling?

A broadband internet connection, any household phone (yes even cordless) and a Digital Converter Box.

How good is the connection quality?

GSM Call uses the latest digital routing and switching equipment. We use full fiber-optic cabling throughout our network, insuring that our clients receive the finest quality service that is currently available.

Top

What dialing format do I use to call?

We use the internationally accepted dialing format of 00+countrycode+number.

Top

Can I use my service while traveling to save money?

Yes you can! GSM Call is a world-wide phone system and can call you at any number in the world. If you can send a SMS message from your phone, then you can access and use our system. If your carrier charges you for roaming, make sure you use the call redirect feature to call you at a local international line to avoid those charges.

Can I have more than one GSM Phone tied to my account?

Yes you can. GSM Call allows you to manage your account and modify which phone numbers are tied to it. This option is especially good for companies and/or individuals that wish to maintain a single detailed bill for all of their international phone calls.

Can I use my SMS to redirect to another number?

Absolutely. Our service allows you to talk from the comfort and convenience of your own home in order to free up your mobile minutes or for access while traveling abroad. All you have to do is send a message "CALL" and the number you wish to redirect to, making sure to include the country code and the number such as dialing from international. For example - if you are traveling to Kuwait and are at a friends house with number 1234567, simple send the message CALL 9651234567 (965=Kuwait country code).

How long does it take to establish service?

Service is available within 24 hours of receipt of your deposit. You will receive an SMS (text message) on your mobile when your service is activated, just follow the instructions and start taking advantage of the multiple benefits of GSM Call and our low rates.

No. Our stated rates include any and all fees and taxes, pay only for the minutes you talk, never anything more.

No - GSM Call uses the same low rate 24 hours per day .You save around the clock, and need not be concerned about when calls are made.

When do I get billed for my calls?

You are billed or your calls as your make them. At GSM Call, we use a real time billing system. The cost of the call is deducted from the prepaid balance on your account as the minutes are used, and all entries are up to date immediately.

Top

Can I view a billing detail of all the calls that I made?

Yes, all call details will be available to you on our website. With GSM Call, you only pay for the minutes you use. There are no hidden charges, and that is why all call logs are made available to you at all times.

Top

Does it cost the same for me to make calls from my mobile as my home or business phone?

This depends on where you call from. Some countries charge for inbound mobile phone calls while others do not. If the charge is higher, you can have the SMS Redirector call you back at a land line instead. Please check rates to confirm rates before making calls.

Can I use my account from my friends GSM Phone?

Unfortunately, in order to provide our customers with the highest degree of security and avoid unauthorized usage, only messages received from your GSM phone will be processed.
