The Terms & Conditions for a Service specific to a Service Provider can be found on the Service Providers website which can be accessed from a Service Provider's individual page (“Supplier Page") as detailed on this website www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com.

By using the Services, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Conditions of Use") and acknowledge that the Service Providers provide the Services to you on these terms.

You must accept the Conditions of Use as a condition of you using the Services. If you do not accept the Conditions of Use then you must not use the Services. You acknowledge that use of the Services will be deemed to be an acceptance by you of the Conditions of Use.

As the Services are made immediately available to you with your agreement, you acknowledge that you have no right to cancel your order for the Services under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

1. General
   1. You can use the Landline Access Number or Short Code service by dialing the applicable access number (the "Access Numbers") as detailed by us at www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com and then dialing your international number (including the "00" prefix).
   2. You can access the SMS Top Up service as follows:
      1. from a mobile, by texting the applicable "keyword" advertised to the relevant shortcode (a premium rate text message number) as detailed by us at www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com. The shortcode costs £3, £5 or £10 ("SMS Charges") depending which shortcode you text. The costs of the shortcode will be charged to you by your network provider and added to your network provider bill in addition to any standard SMS charges. The applicable value of credit depending on which shortcode you text will be made accessible to your mobile phone number as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of your text message, and
      2. using your calling credit to dial the access number provided to you and entering the international destination telephone number that you wish to call.
   3. Any unused call credit which has not been used for a set amount of time as defined by each Service Provider will expire, and you shall lose any entitlement to use that credit for the RMR services
   4. Your landline or mobile provider may charge additional charges for usage of their network. For details of how these charges work together with our Services, see our FAQs at www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com, or contact your landline or mobile provider for additional detail.
   5. We reserve the right to implement limits on the amount of SMS Top Up services you can order from any one mobile phone in any one day, please see the relevant SMS Top Up Terms & Conditions on the Supplier Page or email info@cheapestinternationalcalls.com for details. Where you have reached such a limit and attempt to order any subsequent SMS Top Up services of the same type, you will receive a text message (at no cost to yourself) informing you that you have reached your daily limit and therefore cannot use the RMR services for the day. In these circumstances, you will not incur any SMS Charges for that RMR service order. You may still incur standard SMS charges from your network provider.
   6. We reserve the right to change any access numbers, premium rate numbers, shortcodes and charges relating to the shortcodes and/or premium rate numbers from time to time with a notice of such change being posted at www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com.
