Those of you who use a Pay As You Go mobile phone will understand the frustration of needing to make an urgent call, only to find that you’re out of credit. What’s even more irritating is running out of credit when you’re stuck somewhere or running late and need to make that urgent call NOW!

Well, the answer is here. An innovative Australian company called 1800 MUMDAD has developed a service that allows you to make a Reverse Charge Call from your mobile even if you’re out of credit. No, you’re not seeing things….Even when you’re out of credit. Making a call is as simple as calling 1800 686 323 (1800 MUMDAD) and entering the mobile number you wish to call and recording your name. That’s right, 1800 MUMDAD allows you to make Reverse Charge Phone Calls to Mobile Phones!

Who pays for the call? Well it’s not the person making the call but the person receiving the call. Of course they get a chance to hear who is calling and the call rates before they make a decision on whether or not to accept the call. What a great service.

How do you pay if you accept a Reverse Charge Call?

Depending on the call duration, one or more Premium SMS will be sent to the phone and applied to your contract account or deducted from the prepaid credit. The PSMS will also act as a receipt of payment of the Reverse Charge Call and offer a toll free Customer Service number if you have any queries.

Oh and it is rather nice to call a Customer Service Centre and actually speak with a human being! If the Customer Service Representative is busy then leave a message and they’ll usually call back the same day or the next business day at the latest.

So store the number 1800 686 323 in your mobile phone as 1800 MUMDAD, because you never know when you might need to make a Reverse Charge Call.

Always there when you need it ! The 1800 MUMDAD Team
