DID /Break-In Numbers

Tpad Country Break-In Numbers (sometimes called DID or Local Access Numbers) allow callers to use the Tpad network from a normal landline or mobile phone for just the price of a local call.

The number is usually at local rate and thus allows contacts to call you on your Free Tpad number from normal phones very cheaply. You can also use it to make calls from your normal phone to other people directly (just like a Calling Card).

This facility is very popular if you have relatives / friends in a country where there is no ready access to broadband or PC access but which does allow DID Access Numbers.

How to Receive Calls via DID/ Break-In Number

1. Get your friend to dial the Tpad Break-In (DID) Number for THEIR Country / Region (which is charged at local rate by their phone / Telco provider)
2. Wait for automated message then they Press 1 on the telephone pad.
3. Then they dial YOUR Personal Tpad Number. (e.g. 1125139)
4. The Call will then be connected and you can answer using the Softphone or VoIP Device (ATA / IP Phone / Softphone / WiFi Mobile). You can also set Call Forwarding to receive the call on your own Mobile
5. They do not need to be a Tpad user or have a Tpad account or Tpad credit to use this feature. However, your Tpad account must be in credit and must have purchased more than $10 in preceding 30 days.
6. As stated, you can forward this call to your landline / mobile (via Manage Accounts page) and you will be only charged the low cost rate to the country where your phone is located.

How To Make Calls using a DID/Break-IN Number

As well as making calls to another Tpad Number free, DID Break-In numbers can also be used by a TPAD account holder who is in credit to make calls directly to normal phone. This is useful if you are not nearby a PC but you wish to make a call using Tpad. It works just like a Calling Card.

This will only be cost effective if you have a local DID/ Break-In number in the country you are calling from.

1. Dial the Tpad Break-In (DID) Number for your Country / Region (which is charged at local rate by their phone / Telco provider)
2. Wait for automated message then they Press 2 on the telephone pad.
3. Then they dial YOUR Personal 10 Digit PIN. This is shown in your Manage Accounts Menu as your 10 digit "Card Number" (e.g. 1234567890)
4. Then dial the full International Number of the person you wish to call. E.g. 0092312345678 followed by the # (HASH) key.
5. The Call will then be connected providing you have credit in your account. Tpad will charge the normal call rate to that country which you have purchased.

Here are the current Country / Regional Tpad- IN Number list. Note that some countries do not allow DID numbers that connect to the Internet.

Please note that some countries do not allow connection of normal phones to the Internet and at present, we do not have such numbers in some countries. Our aim is to have numbers in all countries and we will continue to add to this list as quickly as we can. However, until then, callers can use the Tpad- IN number of a nearby country (which has low cost call charges with their country). If the caller is outside the country, they will need to drop the zero and add the country code before dialling the number.
