How to Accept Collect Calls on a Cell Phone for Free

1. Accept collect calls through a third party company. Cell phone users can use a third party company like Western Union for accepting calls. You will have to give the caller a toll free number to complete a collect call to your cell phone. The caller will have to give the operator the cell phone number and the operator will contact the owner of the cell phone. The cell phone owner will have to give a check card number or credit card number to receive the collect call to his phone. The operator will connect the call after receiving payment information and the cell phone user will be billed $.25 per minute.
2. Establish a prepaid account with your cell phone provider. Many cell phone providers have a service called 'Collect to Wireless' that allows cell phone customers to set up a prepaid account. You can make collect calls by dialing a toll-free phone number, given by the cell phone provider. The caller will have to enter the ten-digit phone number at the prompt and give his name. Cell phone providers usually charge $9.99 for every 20 minute increments of talk time.
3. Use a third party company that allows the use of a calling card. Third-party companies like 800Call4Less allow callers to make calls to cell phones using a calling card or credit card. The company will give customers a toll free number to call when ready to make collect calls. The operator will need the cell phone number and payment information. After receiving a credit card or calling card, the operator will connect the call to the cell phone number.
4. Buy a calling card. Buying a calling card for love ones is an alternative for receiving calls to a cell phone. Cell phone owners are unable to receive collect calls from prison.

Google SMS Performance

Functionality
Many Google SMS programs work through your existing Google accounts, such as Gmail, Google Voice and Google Calendar. Other Google SMS programs require you to send a short message to a specific phone number to receive a response. Generally, these features work well, and have quick response times. For example, if you request driving directions through Google SMS, you typically receive a response within a few moments.
Carrier Compatibility
Google SMS works with every major wireless provider, including T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, MetroPCS and Boost. In order to use Google SMS, you must have an SMS-capable handset and texting service through your wireless provider. If you do not have texting service, you must pay a per-use fee for each text sent from Google SMS.
Performance Issues
The Google SMS service can exhibit some performance issues. For example, complications between your wireless provider's mobile aggregator and Google SMS can cause several duplicate text messages to appear on your phone. If you do not have unlimited texting, you may incur an additional fee from your wireless provider. Your existing Google accounts may not send text message updates to your phone, or may not send them on time. For example, if you have SMS updates for your Google Calendar, you may only receive SMS messages sporadically.
Getting Help
Your wireless provider can help you troubleshoot most issues related to SMS messaging. Contact your wireless provider using another phone other than your cell phone for assistance. You can also receive assistance from Google by texting the word 'help' to '466453.' If you cannot resolve a performance issue and wish to unsubscribe from the service text, text 'stop' to '466453.'
