- How do I use Just Dial Instant?
Simply call the
access number
corresponding with the destination you wish to call, followed by the complete
international number. That's all. For queries about the billing procedure
please go to the 'How are my calls billed' frequently asked question.

Questions
- How do I sign up for your services?
To use Just Dial you do not
have to register. You just dial the
access number
that allows you to phone the international destination.
Back to
Questions
- Why am I unable to dial certain access numbers?
There could be
three reasons for getting an unobtainable tone:
- Other operators like Virgin (NTL, Telewest) and mobile providers may need to open
up our access numbers. To speed this process up contact your service
provider, tell them the access number you wish to call and ask if you can
open up the telephone number.
- You might be barred from calling 09 numbers. Please contact your service
provider to have the bar lifted.
- Some Indirect Access providers like Onetel do not allow calls to some or
all of our access numbers. If you normally dial an Indirect Access code
before your calls (for example 1833 for Alpha Telecom or 1877 for Onetel)
you simply omit this code and dial the Just Dial access number directly.
Omitting the Indirect Access code means the Just Dial call will be charged
by your line provider (usually BT). If you are using a Onetel PhonePal you
can either unplug the PhonePal or dial 1-2-1 to bypass it. Should you have
chosen the Onetel 'Select' option we would advise to contact Onetel to
provide you with a code to override this feature.

Questions
- Are there any administration, subscription or other fees?
The
price stated behind every Just Dial access number is all-inclusive. The
advertised price includes VAT and the costs for the international part of the
call. There are no further connection or subscription costs.
Back to
Questions
- How much does a call to COUNTRY X cost?
First, choose your
country, the price to call that country is then displayed. This is the
price per minute for your call and includes VAT and the costs for the
international part of the call.
Calls are usually billed per second (BT, Sky, TalkTalk[Tiscali], Virgin [Telewest and NTL] charge per
second, for other service providers please check with your service provider if
they bill per second or per minute), which means a call for 10 minutes and 30
seconds to a 2p/min access number will be a total cost of 10.5 minutes x 2p =
21p.
Your service provider also usually charges a minimum charge or connection
fee for each call; for example BT and Sky applies a 13.87p minimum charge (set-up fee). For other networks please contact your service
provider.
Back to
Questions
- Can I use Just Dial from payphones?
Our access numbers are
accessible from any UK phone, including payphones. However, be aware that
calls from payphones could be surcharged and may cost more than the price
stated on this website.
Back to
Questions
- How are my calls billed?
The charges for calls to our access
numbers will simply appear on your normal phone bill from your telephone
provider (usually BT, Sky, TalkTalk[Tiscali], Virgin [Telewest or NTL]).
Please note that the onward international calls will not be itemised on
your bill. As your normal telephone provider bills you for the calls, not
Just Dial, all you will be able to see is what your telephone supplier
provides you with. We unfortunately cannot supply itemised call
lists.
Back to
Questions
- Can I ring from my mobile?
Yes, you can. However be aware that
you may be surcharged by your mobile operator. How much you will be charged
depends on your mobile operator and which tariff plan you have. Please note
your mobile operator controls this rate on their billing system. We
unfortunately have no influence on what they may charge, nor do we receive a
penny extra of any surcharge. We advise you to get in touch with your mobile
phone provider to double check their rates to our access numbers.

Questions
- Are there peak and off-peak rates?
Most of our access numbers
have one flat rate, the only exception are 0845 and 0870 numbers, which are
charged at the following rates depending on your service provider.
For specific landline and mobile charges please check with your service
provider.
Back to
Questions
- Why did you change the access number for COUNTRY X?
Our access
numbers have a fixed rate attached to them. We always try to offer the best
prices possible and if the price changes, the access number has to change as
well. Every time our Just Dial buying team are able to negotiate a better deal
with suppliers we pass this discount on to our customers by lowering certain
destinations even further!
Once the negotiated special deal comes to an end we will also have to
change the access number back to its original price.
Back to
Questions
- Can I use these access numbers outside the UK?
Unfortunately our
access numbers will only work in the United Kingdom. So if you live abroad or
if you are on holiday outside the UK you will not be able to use our
services.
Back to
Questions
- I am a Virgin (NTL or Telewest) customer, can I use Just Dial?
Our access
numbers can be used from most landlines including Virgin (NTL or Telewest). The billing
process for our access numbers works exactly the same as with BT; the charges
will simply appear on your Virgin (NTL or Telewest) bill.
Virgin (NTL and Telewest) should charge the same rates as BT for our access numbers.
However, if you would like to check their rates please visit their respective
website.
Should you have encountered a problem with your telephone provider's bill
please contact them directly as they control the rates to our access numbers
on their own billing systems.
Back to
Questions
- When do call charges take effect?
You will be charged from the
moment you are connected to our service, not the moment the call is answered
at the other end. As we want our customers to benefit from no registration,
low prices and access from all networks, we unfortunately cannot change this.
However, should your call not be answered, you will be informed by our
operator and disconnected. Your call should not take more than two
minutes.
Back to
Questions
- Just Dial has overcharged me!
Just Dial cannot overcharge you.
The rates to our access numbers are set by Ofcom, the UK telecommunications regulator. It is
common practise for all landline service providers to adhere to the charges
set by Ofcom (please see section 'can I ring from my mobile' for mobile
users). However, the rates you are actually charged on your bill depend on the
prices your service provider has configured on their billing system. We
unfortunately have no influence on their billing system, nor do we receive a
penny extra of any surcharge applied.We advise you to get in touch with your
service provider to protest your bill. Should your service provider not settle
the issue satisfactorily please visit Ofcom's website at www.ofcom.org.uk.
Back to
Questions
- How do I contact customer services?
In order to keep our prices
so low, we have opted not to have an expensive call centre. Any questions you
may have can be emailed to us and we
will get back to you as soon as possible.
Back to
Questions
- When I ring someone abroad will they be charged for the call as
well?
Normally the person receiving a call will never be charged.
However, if you are abroad with your mobile (i.e. not in the country the
mobile number originates from) your mobile provider will charge you for
receiving calls whilst abroad. This is also known as a roaming charge. For
more information please contact your mobile provider.
Back to
Questions
- I was told by my service provider you charge at premium rate, which is
really expensive?
Only 09 numbers are classified as premium rate;
however prices for premium rate numbers vary enormously depending on which
number you are ringing. Premium rate is not necessarily expensive as charges
start from as little as 5p/min.
Back to
Questions
- How much can I save by using Just Dial instead of BT, Sky, Tiscali or Virgin (NTL or
Telewest)?
Please visit BT's price lists to see how much you can save compared
to BT tariffs. For Virgin's (NTL's or Telewest's) pricelists please visit their
respective websites.
Back to
Questions
- I received my telephone bill and I have been charged the full
international rate for my call. Why is this?
If you have been billed
at your normal landline provider's rate for the international destination you
called you would have entered the international destination without entering
our access number first. Not using our access number this means that you are
not able to benefit from our low Just Dial rates. If you don't want the hassle
of entering prefixes or access numbers why not sign-up to our Just Dial Saver
products? These entitle you to free UK calls and low international rates
without having to dial a prefix. When you call a destination via Just Dial from
a landline, your landline provider does not know the international number you
are calling via Just Dial, your landline provider can only show you the
Just Dial access number you have called. As the international number has
appeared on your landline provider's bill, this suggests that the call was
made via your normal landline provider and not via Just Dial. So next time you
make an international call, remember to dial the Just Dial access number
before you dial the international telephone number.
