0800 Wizard

Thu, 15 Nov 2012 14:18:19 +0000

DON'T PAY up to 41 PENCE PER MINUTE to call FREEPHONE numbers, CALL THEM FREE using your bundled minutes, start saving money today!

There is simply no need to spend up to 41 pence per minute calling 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers from your Android phone. Skycom have researched what is currently available on the market and developed an enhanced solution called the '0800 Wizard'. This App lets Android phone users dial 0800, 0808 and 0500 numbers as part of your network operator's inclusive minutes. If you exceed your bundled minutes or you are a PAYG customer, calls are charged at the same rate as calls made to geographic (01/02/03) numbers.

The 0800 Wizard App is truly magic and requires no fangled menus or tricky working out on your part. You simply dial the 0800, 0808 or 0500 number as normal using the 0800 Wizard. We wave our wand (route the call across a dedicated 01 or 02 number) and abracadabra! Apart from looking nicer, the 0800 Wizard dialler is similar to the normal Android phone dialler. The 0800 Wizard is free to download and free to use. All we ask is that you spread the magic!

Follow @0800wizard on Twitter to keep up to date with changes and to provide feedback, alternatively you can reach us on 0800Wizard@skycomuk.com.
