Ask: Do you charge any extra or hidden fees?

Answer: No. Customers only pay for the long distance minutes you used. There is no connection fees, additional surcharges or taxes. However, customers may incur additional fees from 3rd parties in the following situations. 1. Mobile phone customers: (a) Block out the international long distance service with your mobile phone provider. When customers mistakenly press the "TALK" or "SEND" key after the destination phone number, this triggers the mobile provider to disconnect from the V247 system, and instead, connect the call via its own long distance service. These rates are always much higher as compared to the V247 plans. Be sure to check your remaining credit when you make subsequent calls to ensure that your previous call was charged to your account. (b) A mobile service provider may add a carrier surcharge when you are using your mobile phone. Check with tour mobile service provider if you are within the free nights and weekend period to avoid carrier charges when using your V247 account. 2. Land line customers: To receive the lowest rates from V247, customers may dial by using our V247 Local DID Access Numbers in your area code. In some areas, local phone companies may charge for placing c call. So check with your phone carrier first if your Local DID Access Number is gratuitous. You can avoid all fees by using our V247 Toll Free Access Number which is long distance charge always free.
