  • What is Alliance Callback?
    Alliance Callback is a call re-origination company and premier international discount telecommunications provider, offering connections of superior clarity and reliability at a discount of up to 90% in comparison to the rates of local telephone companies, calling card services and hotels.
     
  • What is Call Re-Origination?
    Call re-origination is a method through which callers anywhere in the world are able to access a telephone line and rates far lower than those available in most foreign countries. Callers place a 'trigger call' to a computer and hang up after the first ring, thereby avoiding a charge for the international call. The computer immediately returns the call, providing a telephone line. The caller can then place a call to anywhere in the world.
     
  • How low are Alliance Callback rates?

  • How do I use Alliance Callback?
    You are given a personal 'trigger number' that is used to initiate a call. Simply dial the number, let it ring once, and hang up, you are not charged for the incomplete call.
