Call via Hoiio

There are 5 settings that decide if a call is to be made via Hoiio. These settings are based on 5 scenarios that a Hoiio user might encounter - local calls, international calls, local calls when roaming, international calls when roaming and calling home when roaming. For each of the 5 settings, there are 3 options to choose from:

• Always Ask - Prompt to use Hoiio
• Use Hoiio - Use Hoiio automatically
• Use Operator - Hoiio will not be used, instead the call will be made via your telecom provider

On the other hand, if you call +601000000, Hoiio will not append any country code.
