When logged in to the account on the website, see on the menu down a bit on the left - Make VoIP calls via your mobile phone.

Depending on your country (well, the country you set the account up in), there may be first a description of using a callthrough access. But the sms facility will be there for all accounts

Use your credit for regular calls from your mobile phone

No matter where you are, you can now always benefit from the JustVoip rates and make cheap mobile calls just by sending an SMS!

Here's how it works:

1). Make sure you have entered your mobile phone number in your personal details.

2). Send an SMS containing the number you would like to call including the national prefix (e.g. a number in the UK send +44 123 456 789) to +44 762 480 2809 (save this number in your mobile phone under JUSTVOIP so you can always use it!)

3). Your phone rings, pick up, wait for reply and start talking!

I should try it with my GLOBALSIM card.
This card don't support CLIP.

Is this number (+447624800947) supposed to work for any verified cell phone and any Betamax client? I tried to use it from United States for 2 different cell phone numbers (US and Russian) and my client is Voipdiscount.
I plugged into the Voipdiscount profile my cell phone number and verified it.
However, when I send the message with the number I want to call I get the reply: "Your mobile phone was not found in our database, in the voip client go to Tools -> Options -> CallerID and verify your number first!"

Does it take some time for the cell phone to appear in the database, or I have to send the message to another number?

Thank you very much! This number really seems to work! I wonder whether there exists a US number to send such messages (since a message to UK number is considered as international and can not be sent for less then 15c per message).

I could not find "Make VoIP calls via your mobile phone" button in my version of VoipDiscount (though it is the latest one) or anywhere on the web-site. The only thing I can find about mobile phones is on the main web-page of Voip client in the top menu on the right you can choose "More -> Mobile". But this will give you for some countries (US is not in the list) the local rate number that will allow you to call through it with Voip rates. Nothing about sms callback... Sounds strange but that's how it is.
