DigiTalk Calling Card

DigiTalk - User Guide


Global Calling Card

Maintain crew morale and welfare with regular contact with family and friends. Easy, low-cost communications can go a long way in improving the offshore experience and helping to retain crew members.

A calling card service is the obvious solution, but for many energy companies that raises many questions:
  • How much will all this cost?
  • Should we provide company-funded cards, crew-funded cards, or both?
  • Will our staff be involved with any administration?
  • If we give crew members a regular credit allowance, how do we control its use?
  • How do we control the distribution and use of the cards?
  • How do we manage the availability of phones?
  • Can we analyze expenditure against individual vessels?
Turnkey service offers the ideal solution
DigiTalk is a low-cost, highly reliable, and fully global satellite telephone communication system that costs you nothing to set up, nothing to maintain, and has little or no impact on your existing communications systems.

DigiTalk comes as a total turnkey service and needs no investment of cash or management resources from you. The prepaid cards, the credit top-up service, and the access facility for onshore calls are all included in the DigiTalk package.

Why DigiTalk?
  • DigiTalk works with "units" so there are no foreign currency issues.
  • Low-cost calls to anywhere-from anywhere in the world means no need for country-specific cards.
  • Offshore or onshore-one card covers all.
  • In-call alerts keep users up to date with remaining credit and time.
  • Follow-on calling means no need to hang up and start again.
  • DigiTalk works on a PIN number. All users ever need to access the service is the PIN number, not the physical card.
  • Top-ups and new issue procedures are fully automated and secure (128-bit secure socket level encryption) so users have total peace of mind while using personal debit/credit cards.
  • All calls, card histories and transactions can be tracked back to help with log queries.
  • DigiTalk is fully supported through our customer support center.
  • DigiTalk also comes with Automatic fault detection, so problems are cleared before there is any serious disruption to service.
