To accomplish this UWT switching network chooses the appropriate carrier for each customer call based on the origination country of the call and the destination country.

Virtual Calling Card: The company offers international calling cards known as “Virtual Calling Cards.” Calling card customers are given a unique PIN (personal identification number). To use the service, an access number is dialed and the PIN is entered. This gives the customer access to UWT’s network where they can then dial the destination number.
