Yak Cell - How It Works
Yak Cell is an access-number based long distance program designed to save you money.
From the time you sign up, it only takes a few hours for your service to become active.
Once active, there are two ways to use the service.
Use a Local Access Number:
- Select your access number from the list, dial and press send.
- You’ll hear a dial tone – dial your long distance call.
- Don’t press SEND, just start yakking!
Your call will then be routed by Yak over the lowest cost route available using one of our multiple long distance wholesale suppliers. Your call will appear listed on your regular Yak invoice at Yak’s low rates.
