F.A.Q.

No, they don't. Oriunde provides the Internet calls transfer to Romania and their conversion into the Romanian phone networks. Your parents, friends and acquaintances can call you from their phones or mobiles, or they may be called on the phone at home, work or on the mobile.

You don't need a USD account to pay the Oriunde services. All the payments need credit cards and the currency conversion is made automatically. In order to pay for the Oriunde services, you need a valid credit card, preferably VISA or MasterCard.

When you register, you will get a phone adapter which can be connected to any classical phone - usually called analogical phone with a single line. There are no restrictions.

You can connect to the Internet two or more devices through the router, by using a single connection and a single Internet address, respectively. In our case, the router permits the connection to Internet both of the PC and of the phone adapter. The DSL or cable routers existing now on the market are enough for such a job. There aren't any restrictions concerning the routers. For more details, please go to What do I need?

Yes, you can. The phone adapter does not have any connection to your PC. This one may be stopped anytime without disturbing your phone connections. In fact, this is one of the great advantages of the Oriunde services compared to other services alike: you don't need a computer and you don't have to install any software in order to talk on the phone. The virus threat doesn't exist and it is easier to handle.

In order to make use of the Oriunde services, you need an Internet connection. For that reason, the DSL or cable modem and the router must function continuously. If, from various reasons, you must stop or reset the modem or the router, you should wait until they become 100% functional again, then you may reset the phone adapter. The adapter can be reset by unplugging the power cable for at least 10 seconds.

A good Internet connection is essential for the good functioning of Oriunde services and for the sound quality. The most of the worldwide DSL and cable Internet services offer a connection good enough for quality conversations. The "dial-up" connections made via a PC classic modem are not suitable for the Internet communication services.

The Oriunde services make things possible, where both phone cards and classic telephony can't:
-worldwide free calls to and from the Oriunde registered users
- a Romanian phone number allowing your friends and people you know in Romania to call you at very advantageous rates, comparable to a Romanian inter-city call
- toll free services that allow your parents to call you free of charge (for them) from Romania
- very small rates with Romania
- worldwide unbeatable rates

To call Bucharest, dial: 021-xxx-xxxx
To call other places in Romania, dial: 021-xxx-xxxx
To place a call on a mobile, dial: 07xx-xxx-xxx (change "cc" with the prefix of the county, and "xxx-xxxx" with the phone number of the registered recipient)

To place a call to USA and Canada, dial: 1-aaa-xxx-xxxx
For other countries, dial: 011-tt-aaa-xxx-xxx (replace "aaa" with the prefix of the locality, "tt" with the country code and "xxx-xxx" with the registered user's phone number).

The Oriunde service is not geographically localized. This is why the calls to the 1-800 numbers or toll-free calls, destined to the residents from a specific country, may be dialed but they are no longer free.
The reason is that the call must be "transported" to that specific country, and this means costs. The rates for 1-800 or toll-free numbers are identical to any other phone number in that respective country.
For example, if I call a 1-800 number in USA, I will be charged with 3 cents/minute, wherever I call from.

No, you can't. Special services are blocked in order to cut out frauds.

You can make a free call to any other Oriunde registered user by simply dialing his/her Romanian phone number, and dropping the first "0" (zero).
For example, if your friend has an Oriunde number such as: 0343-xxx-xxx, you can call him by dialing: 343-xxx-xxx.

If you choose a toll-free number, they won't pay a dime, but you pay 7 c a minute.
For the usual numbers, the charges for the caller from a classic phone from Romania are between the costs of a local and an inter-city one.
All these rates are set by Romtelecom®, not by Oriunde®, and they may be seen on Romtelecom®'s site, at "Products and Services". Presently, the rates are between 4.5 and 4.9 Eurocents a minute.

The subscription to Oriunde includes 200 free lifetime minutesfor calls to Romtelecom in Romania, and a Romanian primary phone number facilitating calls from Romania.

The fees for an account change are as follows:

• Default/Primary phone number change: 25 USD

Oriunde offers services no matter where the users are on the Globe. Thus, we can't speak about the "local calls" notion. All the Oriunde calls are "international", at unbeatable rates.
The local free or low rated calls are replaced by international free calls between the Oriunde registered users.

You can be called directly on your Oriunde number from any classical or mobile telephony network in Romania. For example, if your number is a 031-xxx-xxxx type, it won't suffer any change while dialed from Romania.

You can be called on your primary/default number from all the mobile phone networks: Vodafone, Orange, Zapp and CosmOTE. The toll-free numbers can't be accessed from the mobile phone networks.
