How many messages can you get free of charge?
This depends on the availabity of sponsors. Accordingly, points can vary from 1 to 5 per day, or possibly none at all. We are constantly on the lookout for new sponsors. Join in, become one of our sponsors - it's well worth it - you can then buy additional points cheaply and profit from a range of special offers. The provider has to be paid for every message. We thus depend on your contribution. The more contributions we receive, the more we can offer you.
How much does eCall cost?
To use eCall, registration is needed. Registration is absolutely free and without obligation. You automatically become an "eCall test" member and receive some free points. Costs for eCall services depend on the type of account. For example, one SMS as an "eCall private" member - which you become thanks to your financial contribution - costs less than SFr. 0.20 (0.12 Euro), less than on a PC with a modem or your mobile phone! Your contribution helps us to to keep improving eCall so that we can offer you even better service.
