Staying in touch with friends and family abroad can be expensive, but Telecel’s International Direct Dialing (IDD) bundles make it much more affordable. Whether you’re calling a sibling in Canada, a business partner in Nigeria, or a friend in France, these bundles help you keep the conversation going without draining your airtime.

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about activating Telecel’s IDD bundle in Ghana. We’ll keep it simple but clear, so by the end, you’ll know exactly what to do. Let’s get started!

What is an IDD Bundle?

An IDD (International Direct Dialing) bundle is a special package that allows you to make international calls at a reduced rate. Instead of paying high per-minute charges, you buy a bundle with a set number of minutes for specific countries.

Think of it like a prepaid food voucher. If you walk into a restaurant with GHS 20, you might only get a few dishes. But if you buy a meal combo with the same amount, you could get more value for your money. That’s exactly how IDD bundles work – more talk time for less money!
