International calls

If you are using any local carrier while staying in that country at the moment of placing a call, and you call on mobile or landline number of other country, your call will be considered international.

When placing international call, destination number should be dialed in appropriate international format: +country code_area code_phone number. If INTERFON recognizes your call as international, it will immediately intercept it and cut it off.

Therefore, your call will not go through your local carrier and you will not have to pay for this call according to its international rates.

After INTERFON program interrupted your call, it sends your destination number information to the Traveltele.com server by GPRS, SMS or DTMF tonal signals. Data transmition method you choose yourself in INTERFON menu of your mobile device.

GPRS is most reliable data transmition method. We guarantee high quality of cheap international outgoing calls, only if GPRS is provided by your local carrier. Other two methods are not recommended unless GPRS is completely unavailable.

When Traveltele.com server receives information about your destination number it will also check your Traveltele.com account for sufficient funds.

If funds are available, you will be connected by receiving incoming call.

You do not have to respond to that incoming call, INTERFON program will do that for you.

This is so called “callback” system.

Therefore, to your local provider, all international calls that you make will be incoming, not outgoing.

In some countries, incoming calls are free so you do not have to pay your local provider anything at all.

In countries, where incoming calls are not free you will have to pay your mobile carrier accordingly.

You will also be charged by your carrier for either GPRS service or outgoing SMS (depends on what data transmition method you used). Usually, these charges are not high but you still want to have sufficient funds on your local carrier’s account.
