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.

DeleteHi Ramzan. You can actually check it yourself. But you'll have to buy one card first. Once you dial the number you'll be able to hear how many minutes you have left to that particular number.
ReplyDeleteMy Pakistani friends have told me it is expensive to use hello card to call Pakistan.
Hi Tadmas,
ReplyDeleteThis is helpful, but I'm wondering whether there is any way to integrate phone contacts or directly dial a few contacts?
Appreciate.
Thanks.
Hi Veer,
DeleteI am not aware of any method to integrate all phone contacts. But you may use this method to easily dial a few of your frequent contacts.
This is similar to saving Hello card number to your phone as explained above. Save the number using the format below :
80043556,2,<15 digit card number>#,#
You may create this for as many contacts as you like and directly dial them with just a click.
I hope this works. I am not currently in UAE and cannot try this out myself. Please let me know your feedback after trying this method.
I am sorry. That was a typo. Please try this format
Delete80043556,2,<15 digit card number>#,contact number#
Hi Veer,
Deletedid you try it? What's the feedback?
GREAT DEAR
Deletecan we do conference call too?
DeleteInstead of doing manual you can use android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allvins.android.HelloDialer
ReplyDeleteSeems like a useful app. But this might not serve the majority of expat population who does not own a smart phone. But the method of saving contact can be used on any mobiles currently available.
DeleteFinally cracked the hello card direct dialing, here is the format..
