EZ2PHONE SMS Instructions
SENDING AN SMS CALL REQUEST
Send all SMS Requests to +447797803066.We highly suggest you add this number to cell phone's contact list for easier use.
For all requests there should be no spaces sent in the phone number or pin.
ASSIGNING YOUR PIN TO A CELLPHONE
To place your first call,create a text message with the following information:"CALL [phone_number][pin]"where
[phone_number]is the number to dial and [pin]is your pin number.For SMS your Pin is made of up a batch and pin number.So
for example if your batch number is 12076 and pin is 1234567890,your SMS Pin is 120761234567890.
You may assign your pin using either a CALL,BALANCE or RATE request.Try assigning your pin with a BALANCE request to start
off.Send an SMS message with the word "BALANCE"to our sms number.You should receive an SMS message back shortly with
your current account balance.Your pin is now assigned to your cell phone number and you can leave it off when placing requests.
NOTE:Your pin may only be assigned to one cell number at a time.If you use your pin from another cell phone,you will need to
re-assign your pin.
PLACING A CALL
US phone calls must be prefixed with a 1.So for example,to call (866)837-1986 with a pin of 120761234567890 you would enter
"CALL 18668371986 120761234567890".(If you've already assigned your pin you can leave it off).Once you have sent your
message,within a couple of seconds your phone will ring,and the second party will be connected.
To place the same call a second time,simply enter "CALL 18668371986".Your pin is automatically looked up based on your
cellphone number.
INTERNATIONAL DIALING
For dialing to a destination outside "1 Plus areas",you do not need to dial a prefix.For example,to dial a UK number dial 44 000
000 0000.You do not need to put a "+"or a "011"in front of the dialed number.This is the same dialing format as the internet
dialer.
ADDING ADDRESS BOOK ENTRIES
You can also assign names to the number you are dialing to create an address book by adding "-[name]"to the end of your SMS
message.For example,I would enter "CALL 18668371986 -FRED"the first time I call Fred.Next time,all I have to enter is "CALL
FRED"and the system will lookup Fred's phone number and place the call.I could have also done this on my very first call before
my pin was assigned:"CALL 18668371986 120761234567890 -FRED".
ALTERNATE CALL ORIGINATION
You can also set which number you would like to be called at in your SMS Message.Let's say I want to call Fred,but I'd like to be
called back at my friend's home line ((866)837-1986.I'll just send the following message from my phone:"CALL
NAJI@18668371986".The @sign indicates you would like the call placed to the alternate origination following the @sign.You
can also use your address book entries,so if I had the number 18668371986 assigned to SAM in my address book,I would simply
send:"CALL NAJI@SAM".
CHECKING YOUR BALANCE
To get your current balance,send "BALANCE"and an SMS message will be sent to your phone containing your current balance.If
you have not already sent your pin you will need to send that as well,ex."BALANCE 9991234567890".
LOOKING UP RATES
The Rate message formats are the same a CALL request.Simply replace "CALL"with "RATE".For example,to get a rate for NAJI I
would send "RATE NAJI".Other examles:"RATE 18668371986 120761234567890","RATE 18668371986","RATE 18668371986 -
NAJI","RATE NAJI@SAM".See below for more examples and example explanations.
