1) What is Powerplan?
Powerplan is an
international callback service developed exclusively for US
military personnel all over the world. It is run by a publicly
traded, fully licensed American corporation . PowerPlan can
be used from any country in the world. And, it saves you big
money on each and every call you make, often up to 70% over
what you may be paying presently!
2) How do I use
Powerplan?
Its very simple. When
you sign up for the service, you will be given an American
phone number called DID. This number is linked to your present
phone number in our computer. To place a call, you first dial
your DID number in the same manner in which would make a call
to the USA, [i.e. that is you dial the international access
code from your country (e.g. 00) followed by the country code
for USA (1) and the DID.] You will hear a voice prompt : "
Please hang up now." At this point, hang-up your phone. This
call that you made is not billed because it is an incomplete
call [the voice prompt is what you hear instead of the bell
ringing!]. Within a few seconds, your phone will ring and
on answering, you will get an a voice prompt asking
you to enter your destination number. Dial your destination
number as if you were dialing from USA. For calls to any phone
in the US dialing plan simply dial the area code and
phone number. DO NOT DIAL 00 or any other prefix. For calls
to any other country, dial 011 followed by the country code
and phone number. In simple words, once you get the callback,
you are connected to The American Phone system and so you
place your call as if you were in America. Remember that the
CALLBACK will only go to the number you have given us while
signing up. Billing is done either on your calling card
or direct draft from your bank account.
3) Is it possible to
have more than one callback number on an account?
Yes, you can have
as many numbers as you like. Remember that you are paying
the bill and so we don't suggest more than three numbers for
residential accounts. You can have one for phone, one for
fax and one for cell phone, or any other combination you like!
4) Does PowerPlan work
with cellular/mobile phones?
Yes, and this is the great
thing about it. In many countries including Germany, Japan,
Korea etc., incoming calls to Cellphones are not billed! Using
PowerPlan, all calls are converted into incoming calls. So,
you don't pay any airtime charges at all! This means that
you can call anywhere within Germany using a cellphone for
just 22 cents a minute or anywhere within Japan for just 42
cents a minute! This is a very powerful saving that is possible!
5) What are your
rates?

6) How do you charge
for the service?
We offer two possible
options- credit card payment or bank drafting. Your credit
card will be charged for the actual usage of service every
week on an ongoing basis. If you prefer bank draft, your account
in any American bank will be drafted twice monthly for the
amounts you owe us. As a standard practice, we recommend you
use the credit card system if you have a credit card. This
allows you to carry a balance should you need to, a facility
that is not available with bank drafting! Naturally you receive
a detailed statement each month to allow you to track your
calls and costs!
7) How do you compare
against competitors?
We have carefully developed
a plan that is very competitive. You are welcome to note down
details about our program and compare us with others.
For example:
We do billing in 6 second
increments after the first 30 seconds, most of the others
do not.
We have an automated customer
service system that nobody else has.
We don't have any monthly
minimums, sign up fees or fixed monthly charges.
Most importantly, we don't
even charge your credit card in advance like almost all the
others do! This means that you can try out our service at
absolutely no risk!
And of course, our rates
are terrific.
