What is Callback Connect?
It's the newest technology for mobile phones that enables us to reduce the cost of long distance calling. When you dial one of MobileMiser's callback numbers it will ring busy; this lets us know you want to make a long distance call. MobileMiser will call you back and then route your call directly to the person you want to speak with—it's that easy!
