Calling From a Mobile?
You can use InterDial from your mobile phone too - giving you large savings compared to international mobile tariffs.
With some mobile tariffs UK National (0870) calls are bundled with your free minutes package - and some service providers bundle 0844 calls too!
Just make sure that you check rates with your mobile service provider before making your calls.
When you call from a mobile, remember to only press the call or send button after dialing the access number but not again after dialing the destination number.
To find out the cost of calling from a UK mobile, or a non BT landline, you should confirm the rates directly with your service provider as these may vary.
Orange - 0800 80 10 80
Vodafone - 07836 191 191
O2 - 08705 214 000
T-Mobile - 08454 121 121
Virgin - 0845 6000 789
How to Program a Number Direct Into Your Mobile
There's a simple trick to using the service from your mobile without having to keep dialing both the access number and the international number every time you use the service. Here's how:
Simply add a pause between the access number and the international number you wish to dial:
Eg: You want to call your Sister in Australia. So, you create a new entry called 'Sister' in your phone-book on your mobile and then when entering the number:
Step 1. Enter the InterDial access number ie 0870 794 2873
Step 2. Enter a 'pause'. This is done as follows depending on your brand of mobile
Nokia Phones:
A 'p' should appear after * has been pressed 3 times: ie 0870 794 0000 (*** will show a 'p')
Siemens/Panasonic Phones:
A '+' should appear after 0 has been pressed and held.
Motorola / Ericsson Phones / Sony:
A 'p' should appear after * has been pressed and held.
Step 3. Now enter your international destination number in full including 00 and press save.
That's it - next time you want to call 'Mum' using InterDial simply find mum in your memory and press call!
