SmartDial can be setup to manage multiple calling cards to save on long distance calling. After the setup, all you have to do is dial your destination number either from your address book or your recently called list. If setup properly, SmartDial will route the call by calling the access number and entering the PIN if any. Email us if you need help with the setup. If you have a VOIP device such as Fritz.box by AVM, you can call International at low rates by setting up SmartDial to call your VOIP device and then dial the destination number. You can upgrade to Premium to disable ads, enjoy the cleaner user interface and add more than one calling card.
