How Billing Works and How to Add Funds

As you make calls with PennyTalk, the cost of your call is deducted from your account balance. You will hear your account balance at the beginning of every call you make. When your balance is low, adding funds is easy. You can choose to top up your account any of 3 ways -- by calling the PennyTalk access number; online at the PennyTalk Account Centre; or on the phone with a customer service advisor. At no time will a charge be made without your authorisation.

Additionally, you have the option to sign up for our Automatic Recharge feature so you will always have funds for calls. With Automatic Recharge, the charge thresholds are set by you. For example, you can choose to have £10 added to your account automatically each time your balance falls to £5. Automatic Recharge is an optional, free feature of PennyTalk.

You can access your call history and billing details at anytime at the PennyTalk online account centre. No statements are sent in the post.

Making Calls

Once you have opened a PennyTalk account, you can easily make calls at great low rates. Just follow these simple steps for dialling from a home phone, mobile phone or payphone.

Placing calls with PennyTalk from your home phone:

  1. Dial the PennyTalk local access number: 0207 993 1251. You may also use our freephone access number: 0808 168 9711.
  2. When prompted, dial your PennyTalk account number and 4-digit PIN.
  3. For calls to the U.K.: Dial the city code and local number.
    For international calls from the U.K.: Dial 00, the country code, city code and local number.

Placing calls with PennyTalk from your mobile phone:

When making a call with PennyTalk from your mobile phone, do not dial the number you are calling directly from your contact list. No SIM change is required.

To ensure that your call is placed using the PennyTalk network, please follow these dialling instructions:

  1. Dial the local access number 0207 993 1251 or freephone access number 0808 168 9711 from anywhere in the U.K. (For even easier dialling, you may wish to put these access numbers into your mobile phone contact list and set them up as speed dial numbers.)
  2. If you have not yet set up the No-PIN Dialling feature on your account, when prompted enter your PennyTalk account number and PIN. If you have activated No-PIN Dialling on your account, then you will not need to enter your account number and PIN, since we will recognize your account automatically.
  3. Using the keypad, dial the phone number you wish to call. DO NOT use your contact list and DO NOT press Send, OK or Call when you finish dialling the number. If you are dialling internationally from the U.K.: Dial 00, the country code, city code and local number. If you are dialling a number within the U.K., dial the city code and local number.

It is very important that you DO NOT press Send, OK or Call after dialling the number you are calling. If you do, this will cancel your PennyTalk call and the call will be carried and billed by your mobile service provider.

Before each call connects, you will hear your account balance and minutes remaining.
