General

Q. How is the Account different from other long distance providers and calling cards that I have used?
A. Unlike other calling cards and long distance providers, the card and services are designed to save you money on long distance calls made on your cellular, office and home phone. This service does not replace your existing cellular and local calling plans; it simply allows you to stop paying the high long distance rates charged by your cellular and local long distance provider. Unlike other calling cards, the minutes you purchase with the card will never expire and there is no monthly fee, maintenance fee or connection fee.

Q. How will I get my PIN number?
A. If you need a PIN number to make a call from unregistered numbers please email us at support@idcallingcards.com to get your PIN. For security reasons, you will need to use our system from your primary phone number before you request for your PIN.

Q. Do I require a PIN to use my account?
A. You are not required to use your PIN when placing a call from an activated phone number. If you are making a call from a non-activated phone number or from an activated phone but you are outside of a local calling area, you will be required to enter your PIN.

Q. How will I add more phone numbers to my account?
A. You may add more phone numbers to your account (e.g, cell phone, office, fax) Online.

Q. What happens if I forget my PIN?
A. See customer support page.

Q. Do I have to cancel any existing services before my account will work?
A. When you use this service, our system knows you are a customer by recognizing any of your activated phone numbers each time you dial into the service. If you have the Call ID Blocking feature on any of the activated lines, you will have to disable that feature in order to use your account or alternatively keep the Call Blocking service active and use your PIN. If you are unsure of how to disable the feature, please contact your cellular provider or refer to your phone manual.

Q. Will I be able to use the address book or scroll feature on my cellular phone to make long distance calls?
A. Yes, the address book feature should work with this service, on all phones. To use it you will need to program a separate entry for each destination number you would like to call. Each entry will include the local access number for the city you are making the call from, a pause and 1 + the area code and destination number of the person you are calling.

For example, if you are making a call from Toronto, your entry will look like this: 416-642-8023-Pause-1-514-555-1234. If you are unsure of how to program pauses into your phone, please refer to your phone manual. Please note that each phone is different and some phones may not have this feature or it may be referred to under a different name, for example, space or link mark. To confirm that you have programmed the access number and pauses correctly, you should hear the following message prior to your call going through: "For this destination you have X minutes remaining." If you are unable to use your address book with this service, you will always have the option to enter each number manually for all calls.

Troubleshooting

Q. I don't have access to my account from my cell phone and/or I am getting a message that says my phone number is invalid.
A.
Please check first with your cell phone provider if they are blocking your caller ID for toll-free numbers. Our switches will not read your number if your caller ID is blocked. In this case you can access your account with your PIN number. Hint: To make fast dialing, please save your access number along with your PIN number as one entry on your cell phone by putting couple of pauses (p) between them.
(Example: 1234567890pppp123456789012)

Please call Technical Support toll-free at 1 800 649 8583 if you need further assistance.
