International callback is the consumer's answer to today's high
international calling rates, especially in countries where the rates are kept artificially high by government monopolies. The system allows you to command a phone in the U.S. to call them back whenever they want to make
a call, with the U.S. originated call giving you dial tone so you can place one or more calls to whomever and wherever you want. In this way you will be able to enjoy the huge rate benefits which come from U.S.-originate
d calls without needing to be physically in the U.S. to place the call.
You'll keep all existing phone and long distance arrangements in place, so it is still possible to place calls in the usual manner if you so desire. For those calls placed through the callback system you are billed throu
gh a major credit card. Monthly invoices are also mailed to you showing complete call detail, including the calling number, date/time of the call, number called, duration of the call and cost of the call.
Here's how you use call-back:
1. Place a normal call to a U.S. number assigned to you. It rings, you hang up. No charge to you.
2. Within a few seconds your phone rings. It's the call-back computer you have activated by dialing the special number.
3. You pick up the phone and hear U.S. dial tone or a prompt asking you for the number you want to call. You enter the number just as you would if you were in the U.S.
4. If you have several calls to make, there's no need to hang up after each one and go through the whole call-back routine. Just press the # key and the callback computer returns you to U.S. dial tone, ready for your nex
t call.
CALLBACK FEATURES:
FOLLOW ME: You can change the destination of your callback number. This feature allows you to use Callback from almost anywhere in the world.
AUTO ROUTE: You can tell the system to ask for an extension or room
number. This allows yoy to call from hotel room, or an office with
several lines and a receptionist answering the phone.
SPEED DIAL: You can program a speed dial number into the system to
reduce the number of digits dialed to complete a call.
SUB-ACCOUNTS: The system can be programmed to prompt the caller for a sub-account number prior to a long distance call being initiated. This can be used as a security feature, or a way for you to track
expenses associated with a specific caller.
- There are no sign-up fees, monthly fees, or other charges.
- The first minute rate is the same as each additional minute.
- You do not need to switch your existing long distance service.
- Your bill provides you with complete detail of your calls.
