It can be automatically( they tell you over the phone they are recharging) or you can do it manually. to the DR it works out to be 13 cents a minute( to a cell). It wont work with the 829 area code in the DR though!!( at least it didnt till about 4 months ago when i stopped trying to make the 829 calls)
you get maybe 3-4 times the minutes calling a land line.
they dont have a connection fee, nor a disconnect fee....sometimes the signal is bad....but not as often as the calling cards signals are bad!!!
if you set up and list the most often used phones you call FROM..you only have to call the access # and then your destination.
other wise you have to call the access number, then your account # then your PIN#, then the number you want to connect to......kinda long.

Yes, Tel 3 is great. no problem with the 829 # now. think it is 9 cents to home line and 13 to cell.
