Your Dingtone phone numbers are second mobile phone numbers
that can receive SMS from any mobile phone number in the
world. Please be aware that incoming SMS costs your Dingtone
credits.
Forwarding involves two calls: one incoming call to your
Dingtone phone number and one call to the destination phone
number. The rates for both calls are combined.
For example:
(1)You have a US Dingtone phone number. An incoming call to a
US Dingtone phone number costs 0.75 credits/minute.
(2)You forward incoming calls to an Indian phone number.
Calling an Indian phone number costs 1.85 credits/minute.
(3)The rate for such call forwarding is 0.75 + 1.85 = 2.6
credits/minute.
Callback works in two steps. First, our system dials your
phone number (callback). After you pick up the call from
Dingtone, we dial the destination number and bridge the two
calls together in our system. The rates for both calls are
combined.
For example: (1)You have an Indian cell phone number and want
to make a call to a US phone number via callback. Dingtone
calls your Indian cell phone number (callback) at a rate of
1.85 credits/minute.
(2)Then Dingtone calls the US phone number at a rate of 0.9
credits/minute.
(3)The rate for the whole call is 1.85 + 0.9 = 2.75
credits/min.
If you are in a country where we provide local dial-in numbers
(such as the United States, UK, and others), Dingtone will use
your phone to dial a local access number which then re-routes
the call to the destination phone number.
For example, if you are a Dingtone user in the US and you want
to call your friend in India, Dingtone will first dial a local
US phone number (for example, 408-123-4567) to connect to the
Dingtone servers. Once connected, our system will bridge the
call to India.
If you have ever used a calling card, you will be familiar
with this service. Dingtone, however, is much easier to use
than a calling card.
Please note that local dial-in uses your cell minutes.
However, there's no need to worry because a dial-in call is
always a local call. Your phone company won't charge the call
as an international call.
You can record your phone call at any time during the call.
Call recordings are stored in Dingtone servers for one year.
You can forward your recordings via Email.
Call recording may cost your Dingtone credits depending on the
length of the recording.
Shorter than 1 minute, free.
1-10 minutes recording, 2 Dingtone credits.
11-30 minutes recording, 6 Dingtone credits.
Over 30 minutes, 20 Dingtone credits.
The voicemail service is attached to your Dingtone phone
number. Once the number expires, the voicemail service also
expires even though you use it for only a few months.
Fax is essentially a special phone call so the Fax rate is
determined by where the Fax number is located. If the
destination Fax number is in a country where Dingtone's call
rate is less than 3 Dingtone credits, each Fax page costs 15
credits. Otherwise, the cost of each Fax page is equal to a
one minute call to that Fax number plus 12 credits.
Two examples:
(1)Fax to India. Each page costs 15 credits because the call
rate to India is less than 3 credits.
(2)Fax to Saudi Arabia. Each page costs (6.65+12) = 18.65
credits since the call rate to Saudi is 6.65
credits/minute.
The Dingtone Conference Call service is free of charge.
However, if you use Dingtone to dial in to a conference,
essentially you will have a Dingtone call to the conference
dial-in number in the US. Please remember that this call costs
your Dingtone credits.
Dingtone provides conference dial-in numbers in 50+ countries.
If you or any conference attendees are in one of those
countries, you can dial in to the conference directly from
your cell phone without using Dingtone. Otherwise, you will
need to use Dingtone to call our US conference dial-in number,
which costs 0.9 credits/minute.
If you send conference reminders to attendees via SMS, please
be aware that each SMS costs your Dingtone credits.
