Packet8 MobileTalk Software
The Packet8 MobileTalk Software is an application installed on the subscriber’s
mobile phone, enabling direct mobile connection to Packet8 Service for international calls. The solution does not require anything more than a one-time simple
installation.
How Does Packet8 MobileTalk Software Work?
The Packet8 MobileTalk Software includes a unique account code that allows your
phone to access Packet8’s network. Once installed, the software constantly operates
in the background. Once it recognizes that an international number is being dialed,
it redirects the call to your Packet8 account where your call is actually routed. The
result: significantly cheaper international calls, without cumbersome calling codes,
access numbers or pin codes.
Installation Instructions for Nokia SmartPhones (Symbian OS)

FAQ
How does Packet8 MobileTalk Software work? 1.
This service is actually a virtual calling card software that’s installed on the »
handset’s operating system. The software contains the details of your international calling card, all Packet8’s country access codes, and rules of action
which instruct the application which calls to redirect through the calling
cards, and which calls will be dialed directly through the mobile operator.
This application is automatically and seamlessly operated and is able to
select the lowest rates for each call, be it via calling card or direct calling. All
the subscriber has to do is dial the desired number as he usually does on
his mobile phone (keying in the number, or using the handset’s call log or
contact list). The application will automatically be activated and route the
call via the calling card if a lower rate call has been recognized.
How does MobileTalk recognize which calls to redirect via the calling card, 2.
and how does it redirect them?
MobileTalk recognizes the country from which the call is made, and the »
call’s destination country. Pending the rules defined for the application, if
it recognizes that the call can be made with a lower rate (using the calling
card), it will redirect the call to be executed to Packet8’s local access number. The application will automatically key in the calling card’s details, and
immediately thereafter the destination number dialed by the user.
Why should I use Packet8 service? 3.
The main advantage of this service is dramatically lower rates for interna- »
tional calls. Rather than paying the operator’s extremely high international
rates, subscribers to this service pay calling-card low rates.
This service is seamless and requires absolutely no additional effort from »
the subscriber (such as 40-digit long access codes, pin codes, etc.).
This application performs automatic dialing at optimal rates. »
The subscriber is not required to remember or write down international or »
access codes.
The subscriber is not required to remember, write down or key in calling »
card or pin code numbers, access codes or destination numbers. He uses
his handset as he usually does in his home country.
The application recognizes and uses the most cost effective local mobile »
network in every country.
MobileTalk is installed with a one-time, simple and error-free manner, via a »
WAP link received in a text message.
11 |
Page 12
How do I install MobileTalk if I failed to download it directly to 4.
the handset?
MobileTalk can be installed by receiving it as an email attachment. When »
calling the provider’s service, ask the rep to mail the file to your computer.
Save it and connect your mobile to the computer via Infrared or Bluetooth,
and send the file to your handset. You will receive the WAP link, and than
install as instructed.
