TIPS:
Dialing from Hotels and Motels
Some hotels and motels may add additional charges. Check before making your call.
Dialing from prepaid mobile phones
In most cases, using HIT-connect will save you money. And don't worry if your prepay has expired. You can still use HIT-connect to make calls.
Do you have 'free minutes' on a mobile plan contract?
If you have a contract that includes 'free minutes', you can save 55c by dialing 09 920 1493 before making International calls during that time.
Reduce your keystrokes
When using a traditional phone card, you need to enter about 30 keystrokes to make a call. Use HIT-connect's speed dialing for your favourite phone numbers to reduce this down to around 20 keystrokes.
If you use HIT-connect's speed dialing in conjunction with your mobile phone speed dialing, you can make calls with only 3 or 4 keystrokes!
Using your Mobile phone speed dials
To make it fast and easy to use HIT-connect, use the speed-dial function on your mobile phone:
> select the speed-dial function
> enter the HIT-connect number (0800 893 893 for NZ ) followed by a comma or pause
> enter your personal account number followed by a #
> enter your PIN (optional)
> enter into speed-dial memory (mobile phone operation may vary)
Use HIT-connect speed dialing for your favourite calling numbers. |
