Are you sure that DialNow is a good idea if Lucy doesn't have a DialNow account???
DialNow | Cheap International Calls

We require a minimum Payment of EUR 200,-. No monthly payment required. Take your time to use this credit and top up again if you run out of credit.

For 200 euros you can have about 400 minutes of calls from Heyah to USA.

Moreover, DialNow doesn't have a Polish access number. Calling a foreign EU number is 0.59 PLN/min with 60-second rounding - not so cheap if you consider that you pay for the time when dial the destination number and wait for connection (and also pay for unaswered/busy calls).

I think that there are two nice workarounds to call USA cheaply from Heyah. The first one is to buy an easy-to-buy Telepin calling card (either a scratch card or a terminal printout) for 10, 15, 25, 50 or 100 PLN. Calls to USA (except Alaska and Hawaii) via a landline access number cost 0.18 PLN/min + a landline rate (0.29 PLN /min from Heyah). Telepin has an English voice menu on the access number.
Another interesting solution is a Karta Papuga calling card. It has an option of unlimited calls to USA/Canada and landlines in some European countries and Australia via a special landline access number (again 0.29 PLN/min from Heyah). The cheapest card cost 10 PLN for 7 days of calling. To activate this option just use the card for the first time: call 39 388 31 50 and enter the PIN (that PIN will assigned to unlimited calling option, not the "regular" calling). No English language support however

This info was completely new to me, but nevertheless I'm of the opinion that everybody should have a DialNow account as it can be used worldwide.
I use my dialnow account since several months and never paid this.
My account started with 10€ + VAT + 0,50€ transfering fee = 12,50€
Also accounts of my friends did not require a 200€ payment, obviously they changed their conditions.


Dialnow access numbers is one way to call cheaper to US with a Heyah card but it is not the best and not the only one.

As Heyah data usage is cheap you can also use http://gsm.voipbuster.com ("voipclient") to trigger callback from Betamax to your Heyah number.
Just open this address from your mobile (This info gave inquisitor).

With this method calls from the Heyah mobile to US will cost € 0,055 + 0,005 = 6€ct/min + 19% (german)VAT. A connection fee of 1€ct per call may also be charged when using the voipclient. "phone to phone" on the DialNow website from you PC will cost a connection fee of 5€ct per call.
