Easy way to use hello card


Making international calls using Hello card is a quite pocket friendly way. With UAE having a huge expat community, international calls are made in crazy huge numbers. But most of the people complain about the boring procedure they have to go through, before they can make a call. To make things worse, if the dialed number is busy, one has to go through the whole procedure again from beginning.

International calls using Hello cards can be made easy by following the steps below:


Step 1) Dial as per the following format on the phone:

80043556,2,<15 digit card number>#

Break Down:

  • 80043556   - this is the tollfree number you dial to access hello card IVR
  • ,                - this is called pause. It can be added by pressing and holding the * key on the keypad. Some phones may indicate this by the letter P. Its function is to provide a pause before                       dialing the next digit.   
  • 2               - this is the language selection number. 2 is for english. You may change this to your preferred language as indicated by the IVR.
  • <>               - Enter the 15 digit Hello card number followed by the # key. 

Step 2) Save the dialled number and give a name. eg. Hello

Now you have a contact named hello with phone number as mentioned above.

Step3) From contacts, select and call 'Hello'. 

Now you can hear everything happening automatically. The IVR will take you to the last step where you have to dial the phone number. Now dial the number and press # and enjoy the call.
