Tired of the expensive international rates from your mobile operator? Just use our new access number for mobile phones! Dial 010 7 441 441 followed by the international number you want to reach (include the 00), 1649 connects you at our ultralow international rates. You only pay for this local number, plus the 1649-rate of the country you wish to reach.

For example:
You want to call Thailand. If you use our access number 010 7 441 441, you will pay the normal connection costs for a local call plus the current 1649-rate for Thailand, which is 5 cents per minute. (A Thai Mobile call at 1649 is 13 cents per minute.)

If you call Thailand directly with Vodafone, it will cost you the normal connection costs (depending on your subscription) plus a "world tariff" at one Euro a minute! If you are calling a Thai Mobile, there's an additional € 0,26 surcharge. (Source: Vodafone, aug. 2003 )

Payment:
The costs for the local call are charged to your mobile phone account. These charges take effect the moment you are connected with the 010-number. The international costs are settled via your 1649-account. These charges take effect as soon as you get connected with the international number you dialled. Therefore: If there's no international connection, there will be a small local charge. We don't charge a callsetup.
