But 0 speed dials, true? A pity.

ONESUITE allows speed dials, but their rates are higher from Europe than cloncom or enjoyprepaid.

you could always add pauses in the numbers like local access #, p , pin#, p , dest# thats how a couple entrys in my phone book are looks a little odd but it works

Thanks, jervin.

That will work from a phone like my Motorola or Nokia. The TREO (phone in question) phonebook does not allow that; I can only use the speed-dials to add pauses. Also, the TREO does not have an option to generate tones WITHOUT DIALING A BRAND NEW CALL.

Do they work outside BULGARIA?

That is actually my issue..... The US cards I mentioned above DO NOT ALLOW PINLESS DIALING EXCEPT IN THE US. Now, pinless dialing is indeed a fine thing, but if I have to be at home to use them, then I have extra work to do entering pins, etc. when I travel overseas.

Don't suppose you have a web link for those cards? Can ANYONE purchase such a card and can it be used OUTSIDE the UK?

Tnx,

Stan

NO, they dont have a web site... they are really advanced cards which can remember a number of #s for pinless dialling. I buy them from china town in london. They have access # in UK, france, italy, spain... says call for more numbers.

Ill let you know

I'm studying Lycatel for a PhD in convoluted terms and conditions and complicated billing, but it's going pretty slowly. The first paragraph is a masterpiece of mind-twisting, then when think you've got your balance back ...

Calls are charged ?per minute? for calls lasting up to and including 2 minutes. Calls that last above 2 and up to 6 minutes will be charged ?per two minute? increment. Calls that last above 6 and up to and including 10 minutes will be charged ?per three minute? increment. Calls that last above 10 and up to and including 15 minutes will be charged ?per four minute? increment and calls lasting longer than 15 minutes will be charged ?per five minute? increment.


A 10 pence maintenance charge will be levied daily following first use of the card.

A post call fee will be levied and is dependent on the duration of the call; the call fee will be a maximum of 7% of the total call charge.

A connection fee is applicable for all calls made using this card. The connection fee levied is dependent on the destination called, the time at which the call is made, the length of the call and the access number used. The maximum connection charge is 18 pence.

Rates are applicable 24/7 and are effective from 20/09/05.

Rates and billing conditions are subject to change without any prior notice; this may be due to circumstances outside the control of Unitel Card Services (Ireland) Limited such as changes to wholesale prices that it is charged by third party suppliers.

Charges may vary from some public and mobile phones; Unitel Card Services (Ireland) Limited recommends that customers check the relevant charges with their mobile provider before using this product. A Payphone surcharge of 20 pence per minute will be applicable if calls are made from this type of telephone.

Different minutes may apply for calls made to some premium numbers, non-geographical numbers and mobile numbers.

Roughly translated - there are simpler options

Can it be used abroad? - I don't dare ask

I don't like it already! DAILY!

Forget it!
