Tricks for saving on dialling time

The e-topup service is very quick and hassle free. There’s even a simple trick that you can use to make the dialling process completely seamless.

All you need to do is edit your international numbers to include the access number at the beginning, followed by a pause. This can be done easily depending on the brand of your mobile:

How to find pause in your mobile:

• Type the 0208 access number on your handset
• Enter a "pause" (as explained below)
• Type the full international number you wish to call, e.g. 001**** for the US
• Save the number to your phone book

The following is a list of known "pauses":
