How long is a pc to phone account valid?
   Prepaid Calling Accounts are valid for 6 months from the date of the accounts initial use.
How to enter a phone number into the dialer.
   The dialer remembers the last 5 numbers you have called and that way it's very easy to call frequently called numbers.

You can also adjust volume of your microphone and speakers on the dialer interface. It's important that you don't have the volume of your microphone and speakers adjusted too loud, because that could cause distortion and feedback.

When inserting phone numbers into the dialer interface, make sure that you don't use international calling prefixes like "011" or "00", otherwise your calls will not go through. Simply enter country code and phone number (area code also if applicable).

Example:
To make a call to 123456789 in the United Kingdom, you would enter 44123456789 in the calling window. When a phone number starts with "0", you need to omit the zero. For an example to call 0123456789 in the UK, you would dial 44123456789.
Recharging my account information.
  Recharging is only allowed to those who hold a non expired account and pin.

Recharging must be made in $5, $10, $20, $25, $50 or $100 purchases.

Recharged accounts still need confirmation, so recharge will not take place in real time.

What does account and PIN mean?

If you have not seen your account with 48 hours, please contact sales. Provide an order number with your inquiry.

The phone number that the user tried to call has been restricted from our service. This means the local PTT is blocking all pc to phone service into the area.

   Make sure that you are not currently connected on a pc-phone call or that some who knows your account / pin is not currently using the service. Accounts can not be used simultaneously.
 "Audio Channel cannot be established"
  No response from the Voice Router. It could be due to the internet traffic is congested so the connection times out. Shut down all currently running programs other than the dialer or try again later when the connection improves.

  The number that the user tried to call might be invalid. Please try to make an IDD (regular telephone) call to the number.
"Gateway busy [xxx,205]"
  The call cannot be terminated to the PSTN (public) line. It could be that the circuits are full. Try again later. If problem still persist, try to make an IDD (regular phone) call to the number.

  This error means you are using an out dated version of our dialer. Please download the newest version of our dialer from http://www.1ClickTel.com
I keep getting an error number display
  Be sure you have entered the phone number correctly beginning with country code then area code then phone number without any punctuation or spaces between the numbers. For example call the USA would be entered 14154442222.

Secondly, try the phone number from a land line regular telephone. The line may be down temporarily so the pc to phone call can not be completed as well.

ISDN 31 : no connection available
 

This error shows when you have entered the phone number incorrectly. For example, if dialing the USA from another country you may typically enter 001 and the phone number with your land line phone, but with 1ClickTel you only enter 1 and the phone number. So instead of 0015551212, you would enter 15551212 as the number you call.

Not Authorized to make a call (Permission Denied)
 

1. Make sure that you inserted correct Account & Pin number.

2. Check your account balance to see if you have sufficient funds on your account.

3. Please make sure that you have not inserted a zero in front of the country code or area code, when you are making a phone call. Please don't use international access codes like "011" or "00" when dialing.
