In general no. In the case of the Advanced Services you are only committing to the value of the funds you add to your account. However for all Premium rate and International numbers you are committing to a 12 month minimum period.
If you are running a Basic Service this may be on a minimum 12 month contract.
Most Callagenix services are supplied on a Pay as You Use basis whereby you add funds to your account via one of the valid payment methods and your account charges are debited from this balance. Funds added to your account are non-refundable although they will remain on your account for use at a later date if you terminate your service with us. Once set-up, funds can also be added automatically by credit card or direct debit mandate.
If you are operating one of the Basic Service numbers you must select a bundle package and setup an automatic payment method using either a direct debit mandate or a credit / debit card. You will be billed either monthly or annually in advance for any bundled minutes and in arrears for any calls received above the bundled allowance.
Functionally there is no difference between how the services operate on a test account and a live account. However, with a free trial account your services will be setup to operate using a test number with PIN entry rather than being connected directly to a live number. You can only get a live number on your account once we have received your ID and any relevant payment to fund the live number.
In order to make your account live you will need to:
- Complete all the account details from the left hand menu once you have logged in to your Callagenix account
- Provide us with 2 copies of ID via scan or fax. These are generally one personal such as a driving licence or passport and one confirming your address such as a recent utility bill, tax document or bank statement, not more than 6 months old.
Yes. We will not charge you a penny to test your service. We even give you some test funds to test diverting your calls through your service to a landline or mobile.
