It used to be a long long time ago when internet and smartphones weren’t that readily available, and I used a lot of IDD calling cards to stay in touch back then!
Nowadays, with 3G/wifi, you’d think nobody really needs IDD anymore but that’s sooooo untrue. I can think of so many ways IDD would be applicable like:
♥ Family/Friends who are based in/travelling in other countries and they don’t have 3G/Wifi,
♥ Unstable 3G/Wifi connections that cause inferior call quality,
♥ Business-related call (and you wouldn’t want to be seen as “cheapo” by opting for skype/viber), and more!
Recently I was travelling in US and I only had internet connection in my hotel room! And everyone knows on a vacation, you are mostly out and about! If my family and friends based in Singapore had IDD, they would have been able to call me any time cheaply (and I wouldn’t be as lonely when travelling alone)! :)
And I am so going to use this to call my Grandparents & Mom in Kuala Lumpur more often!
Anyhoo, I’m not exactly here to tell you how great IDD is but how CONVENIENT IDD provider, Phoenix, has made it for all who wants to make overseas calls with ePhoenix!
Here’s why:
♥ It’s cardless!
No more searching for vendors that sell IDD calling cards! It’s now cardless!
You can now use ePhoenix‘s new Pin-Free Prepaid IDD service from your registered phones (Fixed or Mobile) to make high quality and low rate international calls. Significant savings can be achieved with absolutely no connection charge and sign-up fee.
♥ PIN free
OMG, how many of you remember those long pin numbers that you need to enter when you make each and every call! I know I entered one number so often that I memorised it. -.- On top of the crazy long overseas number that I was dialing!
Simply Just Dial 6347 4088 + (Country Code + Area Code + telephone number + # Key) from your registered phones! No need to remember PIN!
♥ Top-Up Online!
Another OMG! Gone now are the days where I had to hunt for shops for new top up cards!! Or having my credit run out on me in the middle of the night! ePhoenix can be topped up online via eNETS!
Buy/Top Up Online Here or at any of ePhoenix‘s Distribution outlets listed here.
