Instant Dial
Instant Dial is a cheap international calling service which allows you to make cheap international phone calls from a landline instantly.
All you need to do is dial the low rate access number for the country you want to call then, at the prompt, dial your destination number.
Your service provider will charge you only for the call to the Instant Dial access number, rather than charging the full international rate for the call.
Dial the access code for your country.
E.g. For South Africa 0844 988 9910
Dial the international number in full
E.g. For South Africa 00 + 27 + Area Code + Telephone Number
The Advantages of using the Instant Dial Access Numbers
- No pre-payment, PIN or calling card needed
- Your provider will bill you as usual
- No subscription or hidden costs
- Tariff played before each call
- All prices include VAT
- No bills from Mootel
- No need for prepaid calling cards
How you pay for the cheap calls you make
When you use Instant Dial you only pay for calling one of the Mootel access numbers.
For example, when calling South Africa using our service from a BT phone it will only cost you only 3p per minute. You will see the call listed on your next BT bill.
If yours is not a BT landline you will need to check with your service provider (eg Telewest or NTL) what charge they will make for calls to the Mootel access number.
Instant Mobile – Cheap Calls from your mobile
You can use Instant Dial from a mobile. However be aware that your mobile operator may apply a surcharge. How much you will be charged depends on your provider and which tariff you’re on. Unfortunately we have no influence on what they charge.
On the positive side, some mobile operators allow you to call our access numbers for free with your cross network inclusive minutes.
We’d advise you to get in touch with your service provider to check their rates before you use Instant from your mobile.
