What Is Global Access Direct Service?

Global Access Direct (GAD) service is the implementation of our new generation of switching technology. GAD is a direct dial-through service for customers. This means the customer does not have to hang up when placing a long-distance call, giving the customer transparent access to our service.

What is GAD - Paris Service?

Like GAD in Netherlands there is a charge to call the local access
   number in Paris. The PTT will charge the customer in units of 0.615
   francs for every three minutes (customer gets more time per unit
   during off peak hours).

Telegroup will apply 17.5% Value Added Tax (VAT) to all invoices.

Charges increase as customers call outside of Paris.

Customers living more than 10 miles outside of Paris should use
   Global Access 3088 France (it will be more cost effective).
   The cities where GAD Paris is cost effective are Paris, Creteil,
   Massy, Versailles, Nanterre and Boulgne-Billancourt.

How GAD - Paris Service Works

The customer dials a local Paris number, 0141 97 88 88 to the Telegroup France switch.

If the customer's phone number is delivered and recognized by the
   switch as a line, the customer hears a bong tone, and is prompted to
   dial the number the customer wants to call. The prompt says "Please
   enter the country code and number you wish to call followed by the
   pound key."

If the number is not registered, the customer is prompted for
   an authorization code. The prompt says, "Please enter your
   authorization code." (If the customer enters a wrong code,
   the switch will again prompt for an authorization code.)
   After entering the 10 digit code, the customer is prompted to
   dial the number he or she wants to call.

The customer enters the destination number. The customer will hear,
   "Thank you for using Telegroup. Please hold while I connect your
   call." The call is completed via Telegroup's international
   switching network.

Each PIN code will have a monthly limit, like the GA Card. If no
   limit is specified on the order, Telegroup will default to a $250
   limit. When the customer reaches the limit, the line will no longer
   work until it is reset. Limits are reset on the 17th of each month.

Actual billing time is 30/06. You will be billed for the first 30
seconds and then in increments of 6 seconds.

If a call is in progress, another call CANNOT be initiated with the
same PIN.
