Calling Cards

Mar 10, 2005, 10:48 PM

I am frequently calling abroad and I am using prepaid calling cards.

The manual of V-551does not show how to store in the phone book an entry for a calling card like:

1-800-xxx-xxxx / pause / {calling card PIN number}.

I will appreciate, if a user of V-551 can confirm that the calling card storing / dialing feature is implemented in the phone.

Thanks

I have dug around in the menus for a Calling Card option before but I could not find one. To add the pauses is simple. You have 2 options. Hold down the * key and the * on the screen should turn into a 'p' for pause. I do not know how long the pauses are though. If you keep the * key held down it cycles through '*' 'p' 'w' 'n'.

You might also want to try onesuite.com. You pre-pay your calling card with them and set up their rapid dial feature (you assign two digit codes to the international numbers you'll be calling). Then, just put onesuite's local number in your phonebook.

Dial that number, and at the prompt, enter the two digit code plus #, and you're connected to the appropriate international number. It's pretty easy. I've used it to call Europe and Asia, no worse than any other internet service. Definitely recommend the convenience.
