New iPhone App – OneSuite Mobile Dialer

Written by 

You love your iPhone, you love OneSuite’s cheap international calls, and now there’s even more to love with OneSuite’s new mobile app, free for download at the App Store.

No Wi-Fi or data plan required! The app acts as your invisible hand, eliminating the need to dial access numbers, PINs or destination numbers. You’ll know you’re being connected when you hear the prompts, just sit back until your call is picked up.

Following just a few easy steps, you can integrate the OneSuite app with your iPhone’s sleek features:

Let’s get you started!

Setup

  1. After you’ve downloaded the app, open it and you’ll see the OneSuite Mobile Dialer. (as shown in image 1)
  2. Go to Settings and you will see the interface as shown in image 2.
  3. Preferences: Quick Dial Mode > Slide to turn ON
  4. Direct Dial Settings: Direct Dial Settings > 1). Enter your Account Number (PIN) ), skip if you have ZipDial set up for your cell phone number already, or see “Improve Your Calling Experience 1”; 2). Keep the default U.S. local access number, or enter another local access number. If you’re outside of the U.S. or Canada, enter an international access number.

Improve Your Calling Experience

Expedite your OneSuite Mobile Dialer connection time by following these useful tips:

  1. ZipDial + RapiDial = Speed 
    Save your phone under ZipDial + RapiDial so your OneSuite Mobile Dialer won’t need to take the extra step of entering your account number/PIN for you during the dialing process. See our previous blog post for ZipDial and RapiDial set up instructions. Remember that you DO NOT need to enter your Account Number (PIN) under Settings > Direct Dial Settings when your phone is saved under ZipDial.
  2. Skip Balance and Minute Announcements
    For an even faster connection, when you are setting up ZipDial, under PIN Management, leave out your Balance and Minute Announcements so it won’t be included in the prompts.
  3. One Touch Dialing
    Keep Quick Dial Mode turned on (see Setup, step 3) to call straight from your contact list.
  4. Destination Number Format
    In your contacts:
    Enter your U.S. and Canada numbers as: 1 + area code + phone number;
    Enter your international numbers as: 011 + country code + area code + phone number.

Account Management

Mobile Site
To access your OneSuite account, visit our companion mobile site to manage settings, look up call history, check rates and search for local, toll-free or international access numbers.

You can also reach the mobile site from your app, under Settings > My Account.

And a final reminder, OneSuite's Mobile Dialer app is for your iPhone only! The app requires wireless service to make calls, and is not compatible with iPod or iPad.

    I am a happy OneSuite customer, but do not have an iPhone.
    Will this App work on an iPod Touch 3G or an iPad 2 with AT&T 3G?
    If so, will either or both work through OneSuite's country numbers in Europe?
    (We just returned from 3 weeks in France where we used OneSuite several times to call U.S. our unlocked GSM cell phone.
    Please advise.

    When using OneSuite iPhone app to dial numbers from my iPhone address book, it should translate the initial plus (+) sign to 011 automatically (except for +1). Right now it ignores the plus sign thus making the dialed number (such as +86 for China) invalid. This is especially difficult when I cannot edit the phone numbers retrieved from my address book in your app. Without this enhanced feature I would have to rely on Skype's iPhone app to dial address book entries. Hope you can make the correction soon.
