Text and Talk is a prepaid calling card service for cheap calls, which allows you to make cheap international phone calls from your mobile phone.

This service works the same way as callingcards or prepaid cards without the hassle of having to go down the shops and buying one! Your 'callingcard' will be sent direct to your mobile phone!

Just add some Prepaid Calling Card credit to your mobile by texting the word MOO to 67400. We’ll then add £11 (£10 + £1 free) worth of international call minutes directly to your mobile phone.

Once your initial callingcard credit runs out you will be automatically topped up by a further £11. To opt out of the auto topup please text STOP to 67400.

You can now call your overseas contacts at incredible low rates. Just dial one of our access numbers followed by the full destination number. You can use your credit directly from your mobile or from any other phone using the PIN number.

Please note that the above facility cannot be used to top-up your Pay As You Go Mobile calling credit.

LATEST UPDATE: Virgin customers cannot use this service. Orange and T-Mobile customers are only allowed 1 top-up per day. PINs will not be sent to T-Mobile customers, who can only use the credit from the mobile the top-up was made from.

Tricks for saving on dialling time

The Prepaid Calling Card Text & Talk 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 phone:

How to find pause in your mobile phone

• 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. 00880**** for cheap calls to Bangladesh.
• Save the number to your phone book

The following is a list of known "pauses":

• Nokia Phones:
  A 'p' will appear after * has been pressed 3 times.
• Siemens/Panasonic Phones:
  A '+' will appear after 0 has been pressed and held.
• Motorola / Ericsson Phones / Sony:
  A 'p' will appear after * has been pressed and held.
• SonyEricsson mobile phone (model T610):
  A 'p' will appear after the 7 key has been pressed and held.
• NEC e616:
  A 'p' will appear after # has been pressed and held.
