enter the e-mail address of their parent on the Schedule
Your Call page. We'll send them notification of the call
so they'll know when to expect it. The e-mail will also
contain instructions for rescheduling the call.
IMPORTANT: If you choose not
to have us send a notification e-mail, please notify them
yourself so they don't miss their call from Santa!TOP
How
long will the child have to get to the phone when the call
comes in?
When your call from Santa arrives, the child will have 40
seconds from the time the phone is answered to initiate
her call with Santa by pressin the number "one"
on the phone. The person who answers the phone will be reminded
twice during the waiting time that the time limit is approaching.
If the 40 second time limit is exceeded, the call will be
terminated. The call fee is still incurred. You must press
"one" to initiate your call.TOP
What
happens if the call is missed?
Remember
that all calls may be rescheduled (date, time or location)
up to 1 hour prior to your scheduled time. When your call
is purchased, we'll send you a confirmation e-mail with
instructions for rescheduling. If you schedule a call (whether
for your child or someone else's child) and our system can't
complete the call, the call fee is still incurred. Reasons
a call can't be completed are:
· Busy. If the line is busy, our system will make one additional
attempt within 3 minutes from the original call.
· No answer. If the phone isn't answered (i.e., no one is
home or call waiting beep tone is disregarded), our system
will make one additional attempt within 5 minutes from the
original call.
· Rejected. If someone answers the phone and chooses not
to accept the call from Barbie, our system will make one
additional attempt within 5 minutes from the original call.
· Answering machine. If an answering machine picks up the
call and it is not answered before it begins recording,
the call will be considered complete and no other attempt
will be made.
· Unreachable. If the number provided to us was incorrect
or cannot be reached (i.e., disconnected), our system will
make one additional attempt within 5 minutes from the original
call.TOP

we value your business and want every child to experience

price of only $.99 if the call is missed.TOP
