Q:  I mistakenly wrote my email address wrong when I first bought phone cards. How do I change it?

A: Please go to PayPal's site at https://www.paypal.com :

1. Log into your account first. Your wrong email address will be your user id. When you log into your account, you will see a link called "profile." Click on "profile," you will see another link called "Email."
2. When you click on "Email," you will be taken to another page where you can add your new email address. Add your new correct email and make it "primary." Next, delete your old email address. You have now successfully changed your email address.
   
   From now on, your user id will be your correct email address.

Q: I did not see my PIN at the end of my purchase nor did I receive the PIN in my email. Why not and what do I do now?

A: You might not receive your PIN in your email for several reasons:

1. Wrong Email Address -- You entered the wrong email address when you first opened your account and your PIN could not be delivered to you and was returned to us. Go back to your account and change your email address as described in the first question.
2. Email Account Is Full -- Your PIN was undeliverable and returned to us because you exceeded your email account's disk quota. Go back your email account and delete some old email to free some space.
   
   Sometimes you might not get your PIN immediately because of network congestion, the email server may be down, etc. These factors can delay delivery. Wait for few minutes and see if you receive the pin.
However, if you have not seen your PIN at the end of the purchase or didn't receive your PIN in your email:

1. Do not panic. Send us an email. When you email us, make sure you email us from your email account that you used to buy the PIN or provide the Transaction ID of your purchase to expedite the process. This is all we need to locate your PIN. You do not need to email us your name, address, what card you bought, etc. This is for security reasons. We will not email your PIN without your valid email address that you used to buy the PIN or if you are unable to provide your Transaction ID. When you make your purchase, PayPal sends you a confirmation email that includes your Transaction ID.

2. Wait for our reply. One of our customer service  representatives will email your PIN. Service requests are processed in order that they are received. This may take some time depending on when the email was sent. Most requests are processed within 24 hours.

Q: This is my first time buying phone cards from here. I have few questions, could you please answer them?

A: Sure.

1. When do I get the PIN? You will get the PIN at the end of your purchase. A copy of your PIN is also automatically emailed from our system. Please make sure you enter the correct email address when you buy for the first time. Because the process is automated, you can make your purchase at any time of the day and receive the PIN instantly. No physical paper cards will be mailed to you. Please keep in mind that, if you are a first time buyer, your phone number and other related information needs to be confirmed prior to receiving your PIN number instantly. After you buy at the first time, callontime.com's system will send you an email requesting this information. After you reply, a customer service representative will call you after 6:00 PM CST (M-F) or after 12:00 PM CST (Sat-Sun). Once your information has been verified, your PIN number will be issued. This process only needs to be performed once. Your second and subsequent PIN purchases will be sent immediately after the request is submitted. .
2. Can I pay by my credit card or bank account? Yes, you can pay by your Visa, Master Card, Discover, American Express or even bank account. For more information please visit here: https://www.paypal.com.
3. Will I be charged any kind of surcharge or cash advance fee from my bank or credit card? No, you will not be charged any kind of surcharges or cash advance fees from your credit card company or bank account. You only pay the amount you see when you buy the cards.
4. Do I have to enter my all information every time I buy a phone card? No, you will only enter your information once, the first time. Basically, first time you open an account with PayPal, you
   set up your credit card or bank account. Next time, you only enter your user id and password. It is very simply and convenient.
   
   If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Q: When I dial my access code and PIN number, it says it is an "invalid PIN." Why and what do I do?

A: Please make sure you are entering your PIN number correctly. If it still says the same:

• Do not panic. Again, send us email. Once in a while a PIN might not be activated yet or we may have entered it incorrectly into the database mistakenly and you get this "invalid PIN" message. When you send us an email, we will test or investigate the PIN. It it is invalid, we will activate the PIN for you, or, in some cases, we will replace it with a new activated or the corrected PIN. If you have an emergency to talk right away, you can purchase another PIN to meet your needs. We can always replace or refund for the "invalid PIN" of your choice.

Q: Once in a while, when I try to call, the access number is busy. Why and what can I do?

A: A high volume of calls can make the access number busy.

• How do I get around this problem? You can keep trying few times. Sometimes the line becomes available right away. Some cards have more than one access number. You can try another access number. For some cards, they may have different access numbers for various languages. You can try using one of them. You might not understand the language but if you are a regular prepaid calling card user, the pattern will be the same.
• -- Usually, after the first voice, you should dial the PIN number. Then, after the second voice, you should dial your phone numbers.
• Alternatively, just wait 5 minutes and try again. Numbers become available very quickly after busy tones.
