Getting started
What is simplecall?

Registration for a simplecall account is free and only takes a few minutes. Remember that you'll have to add credit to your account after registering so that you can easily make low cost international calls with your mobile device, landline or PC.

Once registered and topped up, it's as simple as dialling the local access number for your area, followed by your loved one's number and the # key. Your call is immediately connected so you can start talking rather than spending all your time dialling like you might with an international calling card.

Your per minute rate for your call depends on your call destination. Our rates are always up-to-date and displayed on our site, so please feel free to check out our rates at any time.

What are your rates?

simplecall posts a detailed and current list of rates on our rates page.Keep in mind that the summarised rates can differ from the detailed rates. Summarised rates are where our rates start from for a certain country, but in some cases you must check out the detailed rates to check the specific rate for the area you are calling. We suggest always double-checking on our site the area you are calling so you are fully aware of what you'll be charged.

And remember, the rates you see are the rates you pay. No hidden costs or surprise charges.

Payment and accounts
How can I make a payment or "top up"?
  • Online — Via PayPal, Moneybookers, debit or credit card
  • Call Customer Support — Before you call, make sure you have the correct details in hand. You will need your debit or credit card, including the long number across the front of the card, the expiry date, start date, card issue number and the card's security code (found on the back of the card).
  • Cash at any Payzone, PayPoint orany of our London-based stores.
I topped up but my account balance has not changed.

Your simplecall balance will be updated within 2-5 minutes if you have topped up online. It can take up to 24 hours to update if you topped up with cash using a PayPoint card. Your online account will reflect the update the moment it happens, so log into your account to monitor your credit so you can start enjoying cheap calls as soon as it goes through.

How can I top up using PayPal?

When using PayPal, always be sure that you select the ‘Purchase’ tab when making your payment. This means you are paying for goods and services, rather than sending money to a friend or family member. We are unable to provide any refunds or other forms of protection for your account if you select ‘Personal,’ so to avoid any issues in processing, always double check that you have the ‘Purchase’ tab selected.

Why was my credit/debit card refused?

Our dedicated customer service team should be calling you to help troubleshoot so you can get back callingright away. You could also try re-submitting your request using a different card. For details on why your card was refused, you must contact your card issuer.

What is my current account balance?

Normally, when you buy calling card, it's difficult to know how much time or credit you have left. At simplecall, we wanted to make sure you always had access to your credit and call history so you can call international worry-free. All you have to do is login to your simplecall account to view your current balance. You can also dial a local access number from your registered phone to hear your balance. Even the best international calling cardsdon't offer that kind of service!

Will my call credit expire if I don't use it?

We want to keep you connected on your schedule, not ours. That's why your minutes will be good for up to one full year. If your account is inactive for more than one year, your credit will expire. If you don't think you'll be able to use your credit in the time allowed, we'd added the option to transfer call credit to another simplecall customer.

Will I receive confirmation of my top up?

Yes, you should receive an email confirming that your payment went through, but you can also check your current account balance by signing in to your simplecall account or by calling an access number from your registered phone.

Are there any subscription charges or registration fees?

No. At simplecall, we think international calling shouldn't come with a big price tag. Whether you are calling overseas or just looking for low cost international calls to the country next door, we get you connected simply and conveniently without the hassle or cost of subscription charges or registration fees.

Am I still charged if my call is unanswered or the line is engaged?

No. At simplecall, we think that part of providing the best service is to make sure that you only pay for when you talk. We will never charge you unless you are successfully connected, and promise low rates and top quality once you are.

I think I have been charged too much for a call. What should I do?

First, please check if there are any surcharges imposed by your mobile or landline phone provider. For instance, if you use a pay phone or dial an 0800 number, there is a surcharge.

If you think that a technical error has occurred, please contact simplecall customer support and we will investigate the matter immediately.

If you would like to use existing balance to purchase a bundle, please call our customer service team on 02035700700

Each bundle can be assigned to only 1 of your simplecall numbers. Once assigned, only that number can be used for the bundle.
