Does the person on the other side of the call pay anything?

No, The only charge is the cost of a local cell phone call, which is what you will be billed.

What are the advantages of this system over Skype or word call cards?

The advantage of our system over Skype is that you have to wait for the person you are dialing to be in front of his computer for them to receive the call from you and vise versa.

with regards to a world call card, our system is cheaper, and there are hidden costs with the world call card. The hidden cost is that you have to go to the shop and purchase a world call card, thus costing you precious time and money. This system does not have any hidden costs. You know what you will be paying from the get go!

the other advantage of this card is that you can save our number as a prefix to your destination number on your mobile or landline phone, this can not be done with a world call card.

If you need to phone in the event of an emergency, our system is immediate. If you have no airtime left on the world call card you need to go buy a new card before you can make your emergency call.

Hints and Tip
Step 1

Find out the appropriate pause character for your particular phone. Check your phone's user manual to learn the letter or character that indicates a pause. Different telephones use different characters.
2.
Step 2

Use a comma as a pause if you need to try to guess the pause key. The comma is the most common key for pausing. Some phones use the star character (*) to indicate a pause, and some use the pound (#) key to indicate a pause. A few phones use the letter "p" to indicate a pause.
3.
Step 3

Start entering a new phone number into your telephone's address book. Insert the pause character, then enter the extension or numerical password your phone needs to dial.
4.
Step 4

Add multiple pauses as necessary. If you want to perform more than one action, such as first enter a voice mail password, and then listen to the first voice mail message. Program your phone using Step 3 and include pauses to complete the action.
5.
Step 5

Save the phone number in your phone's memory. Dial the number to test. Listen as your phone dials to make sure that it is pausing long enough, and at the right times. If a single pause isn't long enough, you can add more pauses in a row.
