While it seems like old hat technology, calling cards still have their place even in a modernized, mobile era. Calling cards allow users to make local toll, long distance, and international phone calls from anywhere in the world. With the advent of the smartphone, even calling cards have a place with solutions like the iTel Mobile Hybrid Dialer.

Instead of having to carry extraneous cards, the mobile app from REVE Systems allows users to automate the use of calling cards straight from a mobile device while also offering IP telephony benefits.

What the iTel Mobile Hybrid Dialer does is store access numbers and PINs in its memory, so a user will never have to enter the information with every use. This provides a PIN-less calling experience.

Because this is, after all, hybrid technology, users can also make VoIP calls from their mobile handsets in addition to PIN-less calling card-accessed calls. For service providers, this means offering “twin advantages,” making it much more attractive to customers while having a complete brand opportunity.

One of the biggest advantages to prepaid calling cards is that you only pay for the minutes you use. So, instead of paying a monthly fee plus a per-minute rate, you pay just a per-minute rate.

Prepaid calling cards are available virtually anywhere. In 2000, $3 billion worth of prepaid calling cards were sold to the general public, and more people are finding out each day that they, too, can take advantage of the convenience these cards provide. Especially while traveling, or away on business to keep in touch with co-workers and loved ones back home.

With iTel Mobile Hybrid Dialer, users can take advantage of calling card benefits without the hassle of carrying a card, in addition to using mobile VoIP services.
