Arterra Mobility Partners with 1-800-COLLECT® to Enable the First Prepaid Mobile Collect Calling Service

Wireless subscribers can use 1-800-COLLECT service from their mobile phones to place collect calls to both landlines and other cell phones. Until now, 1-800-COLLECT service was available only from landlines and payphones.

"The ability to make a collect call from a prepaid mobile phone has simply been unavailable until now. In conjunction with 1-800-COLLECT, we've made it possible for this essential service to be easy to use, regardless of one's account status. We believe our clients will be pleased that this service is now available," said Ben Weintraub, COO and Founder.

Variety of in a class

Arterra Mobility powers a variety of in a class by itself and differentiated brands, including education providers, Internet direct sales firms, M2M providers, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers, mobile Lifeline providers and others.

1-800-COLLECT makes it easy for Arterra clients to place a reverse-charge call from their Arterra-supported cellphone. The caller simply dials *182, and is routed to the 1-800-COLLECT platform. The caller at the time enters the phone number they want to call, states their name and the operator does the rest. When charges are accepted, the call is connected. If the call is not accepted or the called party is unavailable, there are no charges to either the caller or the number called.
