2. Market Summary
The ethnic communities in the USA spend between $5 and $6
billion dollars per year on prepaid calling cards.
For many immigrants, prepaid phone cards are the main
connection to home cities and villages across Latin America
and the world.
A large number of companies that sell prepaid phone cards
are systematically short-changing customers. The cards and
voice-prompts falsely advertise a larger number of minutes
than they actually deliver.
VidaCom, through its VidaCall service has the opportunity to
become a major player in this arena by offering a simple
unique service to the marketplace with NO HIDDEN FEES!

robust VoIP international network, we provide the
lowest international long distance rates in the market,
without the need to change existing mobile, home or

5. What is VidaCall?
VidaCall is a Pre-Paid Dial-Around Long Distance Service.
Customers dial a local access number to “dial-around”
their long distance provider.
All phones are compatible: home, cell and business lines.
VidaCall offers the convenience of a low cost international
calling plan without the inconvenience and hidden fees
associated with pre-paid calling cards.
VidaCall uses ANI (Automatic Number Identification)
recognition technology to recognize registered numbers.
There is no need to enter a card number or PIN.
6. Establishing a VidaCall Account
Customers are driven to the VidaCall web site to
sign up on-line at www.vidacall.com.
Customers enter their information & pre-register the
phone numbers they will use to access the service.
Customers select a dollar denomination that suits
their needs.
Once the credit card payment has been authorized,
their account is immediately activated and they can
start making calls right away.
7. Using the Service
When placing a call, customers dial a local access number
to enter the platform and immediately start taking advantage
of the low VidaCall rates.
When placing a call, the VidaCall system will read the
account balance and minutes used.
As calls are completed, VidaCall automatically deducts the
cost of the call from the initial amount the customer paid.
Unlike most calling cards and long distance providers,
VidaCall is not limited to the US and Canada. We offer
access numbers in 45 countries, providing accessibility,
consistency, and quality.
8. Managing your Account
Customers manage their account on-line through a
robust menu of options and reports.
The VidaCall website is equipped with the highest
industry standards and a Secured Socket Layering
(SSL) encryption to protect consumer privacy.
When the customer’s balance falls below a certain level
and the Automatic Recharge Option is activated, their
account will be automatically recharged.
9. What Else?
We understand time is valuable. Our goal is to make using
the VidaCall service effortless. Below are a few tips to
enhance the ease of using the service:
The VidaCall access number can be set up on speed dial along
with all the customer’s frequently dialed numbers.
Home, cell and other frequently used phone numbers should all
be registered at time of sign up.
Simply dial a local access number followed by the phone number.
Calls can be placed from a non-registered phone number, such as
a pay phone or a hotel phone, by dialing a local access number,
an 11-digit PIN, and the phone number.
