2)Enter your phone number in step 1. Note: This must be a USA number. Either your USA landline/mobile or one of the free incoming usa numbers.
3)Enter the number you want to call in step 2. This is your party's number. Lets say your girlfriend lives in hong kong and her number is +852 26521234. So you enter that number.
4) Pick a location for your Tephno number that is a local call from your phone in step 3. This currently defaulted to 732 area code (NJ, USA).
5) Click the "Get my Tephno" button. Tephno will give you a local 732 area code number to dial each time you want to contact your GF. Note it down.
6) Make a local call to your Tephno number from your phone and you'll connect to the international number. Talk as much as you want.

Important Note: Tephno must receive a caller-id that matches what you enter in "Step 1 - Enter your phone number" for their services to work for you.

You can create as many tephno numbers you want for each of your contact.

Go make those "Easter" Calls to your friends and family across the globe.
