What is the TEL3Dialer app for iPhone?

The TEL3Dialer App is a free application that allows TEL3 users to place international calls directly from their iPhone. Once you download the application on your iPhone, you do not need to dial any Access Numbers or PINs anymore to be able to use TEL3 service, just dial your destination as normally you do or choose your contact from your address book, and dial directly!

How can I register my iPhone number with TEL3?

Accessing your back office is simple; all you need is a username and password. You can get your username by confirming your account number and PIN number.

If you don’t own an account, you will need to sign up with TEL3 first.

How does the TEL3Dialer App work?

All your calls made with TEL3Dialer that starts with (+) or (011) will be connected via TEL3's platform. All other calls, including local and domestic long distance calls will be connected only with your existing wireless provider to prevent double billing.

You can use TEL3Dialer's dial pad, your contact list or even the History tab (recent calls list) to make a call with TEL3Dialer.

When the call is initiated, your registered iPhone number will be recognized by our platform and you will hear a short welcome prompt during the auto-dialing and you will be connected directly without having to enter any access numbers or PINs.

Important Note

Please make sure you dial all your International contacts (except for Canada) starting with "011" or "+" followed by the country code (e.g. 011 (44) 305 556 7879) before making a call

What are TEL3's rates from the iPhone?

For your International calls with TEL3Dialer, you will only use your regular domestic airtime with your wireless provider while your TEL3 account will be debited per minute based on your Plan.

Requirements and Notes

An active TEL3 account
Your iPhone number registered as an Instant Access Number

So please make sure to dial with "CALL WITH TEL3" button on the Tel3Dialer app if you want to make a call via your TEL3 account!
The iPhone currently uses rather slow dialing after the initial connection - this might cause problems in few of your calls. This is a general issue with the phone application and might be fixed in a future iPhone software update
During the call and in the "Recent Calls" list the phone application will show the access number (800# or local access number) followed by the contact's number instead of the contact's name
