A number of factors are involved, there is a very wide range in the calling tariffs available, price packages and many different bundles, therefore we cannot provide a concise answer. Why not take a look at our call costs page and use our Call Price Calculator.

 
 

Commission is a method of earning Vouchers, FlexCredits or even cash, for calls on some number ranges. Flextel has replaced it's old commision scheme with a new rewards scheme that let's you collect FlexPoints. The new scheme is a much more flexible and has been improved to allow users to obtain commission more easily.

 
 
There are on-going subscription fees for using our service. Flextel retains a percentage of the call charge and uses this to extend the call to valid destinations. If you wish to extend calls to other destinations you can choose to pay to receive the call by using our pre-pay FlexCredits top up facility.

Some numbers attract a one-time purchase fee, depending on their category e.g. Economy, Silver, Gold or Diamond. Please see our Flextel Price List for more information.

087x and 084x numbers have free diversion and can be operated without call charges, depending on the destination.

Other number ranges can also be diverted to additional chargeable destinations.
