I would like to pay without VAT, is that possible?^ top

All European accounts are subject to UK VAT. If you are a registered company, please contact your local tax office to check for tax redemption arrangements.

I think I have been charged incorrectly^ top

Please check the current listing of destinations. When you feel you are being overcharged, please ensure you have dialled a regular land line and not a mobile number without realising. If you still have doubts, please contact us.

What kind of payment methods do you offer?^ top

Budgetsip credit can be purchased via Creditcard, Login to your account and select "buy credits" to see.

My order status shows "COMPLETED" but no credits are added to my account?^ top

In some cases customers have experienced longer than expected delays in between orders being processed and credits appearing in balances. Generally it should only take minutes, but in a small number of cases customers may have to wait longer for their balance to reflect the purchase.You can always check your order status in the My Purchases section of your personal pages. We suggest you attempt to place a call even if the purchased credits have not appeared yet. In some cases the shown balance may take some time to update and placing a VoIP-Out call can often trigger an immediate update. If your order is listed as "Completed" you WILL receive your credits.

How long does my credit last for calls?^ top

At Budgetsip, your credit will NOT expire.

Are there any other charges to pay?^ top

There are no monthly subscription, registration or administration charges. The advertised tariff for each destination is all-inclusive.

How much will I be charged for my calls?^ top

Nothing! - if you are calling any land line in one of our free destinations. Calls to non free countries will be charged the applicable tariff for the destination you are calling. Rates are in Eurocents per minute and calls are rounded up to next minute. Apart from that there are no other charges; no subscription, registration, or administration fees!

When do call charges take effect?^ top

Call charges take effect once you are connected to the telephone number you have dialled i.e once the call has been answered. If there is no answer or the line is engaged you will not be charged for the call.

How can Budgetsip keep their rates so low?^ top

We always try to offer the best prices possible and Budgetsip constantly aims to negotiate better deals with suppliers to pass this discount on to our customers! By buying in bulk from major carriers and using state of the art technology Budgetsip is able to significantly undercut other international call providers. In addition, low overheads and a no frills approach enable our customers to benefit even more.

Will I receive an invoice?^ top

You will not receive an invoice by post. All call specifications and -costs can be seen on your account page on this website.

How much does it cost for someone to ring my Voip-in number?^ top

This depends on where the other person is calling from and which telephone provider they use. The call should be charged at normal geographic rate (and if ringing from abroad a normal international call to your country) so the caller should check with their own telephone provider how much they charge for normal calls to landlines.
