I've been using it a bit more, but I still havent seen an invoice on their website under my account, or on my phone bill, or charged to my bank account...  where exactly should I expect it, and when?  I just want to make sure I'm getting charged only whatever they have advertised...

ZeroP has changed their name to 1301, havent they?

I hadn't logged onto the website for a while, but yes, it appears that www.zerop.co.uk now redirects to www.call1301.co.uk, although there are still some references to ZeroP in the text.

I normally get an e-mail with call list and invoice attached at the beginning of the month, then a notification a day or two later that the amount has been successfully charged to my credit card.

it's 0p with a 4p connection fee to call the US using this service?  Hmmmm.

Might need to get Tim to look into this...

Yes, just 4 pence per call, period.  There isn't even the common 1-hour-per-call time limit.

I am not sure if this has been suggested yet, but my BF and I have been using REBTEL(www.rebtel.com) for 2+ years and pay NOTHING for long distance. You only use the mintutes included on your Mobile phone contract (we both have unlimited for obvious reasons) Go to the website and look into the SMART CALL feature. It will explain exactly how to use it. There is also a way to pay for calls but this is NOT what you need to do. Just use the SMART CALL feature. You will LOVE this service.

It has been a life line for us and we even have an alternate (www.talkster.com) when Rebtel has a glitch - which is VERY rare.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mara -

Sorry I am WAY late on this reply - if you haven't had an answer yet here it is :)

1. Sign up for Rebtel (if you haven't done so already)
2. Rebtel will assign you a local number to dial to connect you to the person you wish to call.
3. Dial that number from your mobile phone.
4. The person picks up the phone, you have 10 seconds to tell them to dial you back.
5. They hang up (you stay on the line - DO NOT HANG UP)
6. The person will call you back on their assigned local number

7.  Your connected!

Again sorry for the delay and hope this helps.
