Question 4

Via phone

Accepted Answer

It's easy by phone!

Buying points by phone is very simple, and is particularly practical if you do not possess a credit card or do not wish to use one.

Points are credited to your account while listening to relaxing music. You can purchase points either over the fixed network, or using a mobile phone.

Important:

The cost for an SMS or any other message does not depend on how long you are on the phone. The longer you listen to the music, the more points you receive, and consequently, the more messages you can send.
To use this service, you need a telephone with tone dialling (DTMF).
Purchases can be monitored directly via Completed puchases.
With your payment you agree to eCall's Standard Terms of Use.
Currently this service is only available to our customers in Switzerland.

Instructions for Switzerland

In your eCall-account navigation click on "Shop / Buy points"
Click in the table on "Phone"
Dial now the premium-rate number 0900 009 108 (CHF 6.66 per minute). The costs will be added to your account fully as points (39 points per minute, CHF 0.17 is 1 point).
After the greeting, enter the 8-digit reference number which will be displayed in the step pay with phone under 2.
Give your consent by entering the required digit.
Confirm that you have entered the reference number correctly.
As soon as you hear the music click on "Continue" to proceed to the overvie

Question 5

Sending via SMS

Accepted Answer

Sending fax via text message

In order to send a fax message via text message please proceed like this:

Enter the group name in front of the text. Place an asterisk '*' right before and after the group name. Example: *Bowlingclub* Tournament postponed until 20.00h.

Send the text message to the number +41 76 333 20 20.

In this example all members of the group 'Bowling Club' would receive the message 'Tournament postponed until 20.00h.'

Information:

A fax cannot be sent to a single person (use a direct number instead).
A group must be defined as 'Fax-Group' in eCall.
A fax number can be substituted for the group name: e.g. *011234567..*
Sender information will use last name and first name as registered under 'Settings' -> 'Personal Settings'.

Important: If you wish to enable a fax message with eCall via text message, the option 'I wish to receive text messages from mobile phones' in 'Settings' -> 'General' must be activated. In addition your mobile number must be correctly entered in 'Settings' -> 'Personal settings'. This mobile number is the only access to your eCall account via text message.
