Ukraine has additional charges) reserve the right to charge additional fees on top of the
above rates. Any additional fees will automatically deduct from your unit balance. For
more information on the countries/carriers that charge more please call (800) 872-7626
x110.
Placing a call using the Swisscom
SIM:
Placing calls is slightly different using the Swisscom
System. For all outgoing calls you will dial *111* and the country code, number, press #,
and then send.
(You will need to put a # at the end every time you
execute a command.)
The phone call will go through in a couple of seconds.
Instead of putting the phone to your ear immediately, you would wait about two seconds,
and the phone will ring, alerting you to pick up the phone and speak to whomever you are
calling. Answer the phone and you will hear your call going through.
Just dial
* 1 1 1 * then country code, city code, the phone number
(country code is 1 for US), press # and finally the send key to dial any number.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In These few seconds Swisscom calls you back instead of
you waiting on the line to turn a call from the US, to a call that looks like it is coming
from a different location.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Checking your balance:
You will hear your balance whenever you
make a phone call, but there may be occasions where you would like to find out your
balance without having to make a call. It is important for you to frequently check your
balance, so that you will know as far in advance is possible when you need to add more
time. Also, after re-loading your phone you will want to make sure that the credit was
added.
To do a free Balance Check on your SIM
card:
Dial * 1 4 7 *, then press # and then the
Send or Yes key.
{There must be a # at the end of every
line entered}
Voice-mail Instructions:
This voice-mail is a call divert-style voice-mail meaning
that calls will either go to your phone or voice-mail box. It will not ring a certain
number of times and rollover to your voice-mail like on other phones.
This is necessary to make sure that you will receive
incoming calls. You may have already noticed that it can take several rings for your call
to go through, and there are problems with many US international products that forward to
voicemail even when the call could have gone through to the phone.
On most phones you can program the *xxx* commands (*121*
commands for your voice-mail) into your phone book. The *121*33# number incurs airtime and
works just like any other outbound call on this system.
Voice-mail Commands:
Creating (*121*99#) used only once do not program this
one into your phone. Note when you initally create the Voice-mail box you can hang up
after the message "Combox Installation in Progress"
shows up on your display. Wait a few minutes before
dialing *121*33# to finish setting up your voice-mail box.
Note: There is no voice-mail pin. If you dial *121*33#
from your phone you will automatically be in your voice-mail box and you will be able to
check your messages or record new greetings. You can protect your voice-mail from
unauthorized use by enabling the four digit pin option on your phone.
