Using the Service

Q: How does 10-10-738 work?

A: When you dial 10-10-738 before each call, this sends a signal to your local phone company that this call is to be processed by RevTel. Your local phone company routes the call to RevTel's network, we send it over the lowest cost route available using one of our multiple long distance wholesale suppliers. We collect the call details, rate the call and send the information back to your local phone company for billing and collection. It's neat, paperless, hi-tech and you get the benefit of these super low rates.

Q: Will my local or long distance service change if I start to use 10-10-738?

A: No. The services offered to you by your current local and long distance carriers will not change if you use 10-10-738: the charges you pay to those carriers will neither increase nor decrease.

Q: What if I forget to dial 10-10-738 before my call?

A: Only when you dial 10-10-738 before your number, will that call be carried on RevTel's network and billed at RevTel's low rates.

Q: If I use someone other than the local phone company for my long distance calls, can I still use RevTel?

A: Yes. Try RevTel's Long Distance and compare. You can access RevTel's super low long distance rates by simply dialing 10-10-738 before each number you wish to call. You will see your savings on your local phone bill.

Q: Do I wait for a dial tone after I dial 10-10-738 before I dial the long distance number?

A: No. Simply dial 10-10-738 and then 1+ area code + number for all your North American calls or dial 10-10-738 + 011 +country code + city code + number for all your international calls. In other words, just add 10-10-738 to the long distance number you normally dial, all together as one telephone number.

Q: Why do some countries have a higher rate to call a cellular phone within that country?

A: In some countries cellular users do not pay to receive a call on their cellular phone. This is known as calling party pays. Cellular carriers therefore charge more to the calling party to connect the call.
