Can I dial all Canadian number for free?

[hxcanada]

I have another question. I found that FPL can call most Canadian number for free, but not all. For example, when I call 705-328-2875 (Peterborough, Ontario), it won't let me go through. Is there anyone having the same experience?

Normally Peterborough would be a free call, but 705-328-XXXX numbers are listed on a Lindsay exchange by the looks of it (from the CNAC website).

Code: Select all

705,328,Bell Canada,In Service,Lindsay

I can't see Lindsay on the free calling list, so this won't be a free call.

This page lists all the free calling towns/cities http://www.fongo.com/calling/free/

This page has a rate look up tool (enter the initial 1 when looking up numbers) http://www.fongo.com/calling/long-distance/

Thanks. That explains.

At home (Guelph, Ontario Canada), on home wifi I have a tablet with a Fongo account #1.

On my cell is Fongo account #2.

If my cell with Fongo account #2 is in Jamaica using the resort's wifi, can I receive calls from Fongo account #1 for free?

I would assume calling from Jamaica to home would be long distance and requires credits?

Thanks.

As far as the Fongo app is concerned it doesn't matter where you are in the world. All calling rules still apply. If you can call a Canadian number for free through the app when you are in Canada you will also be able to call the same phone numbers when you are in Jamaica for no extra fees. Likewise anyone calling your number will be like you are where the number indicates you are - that is to say if you have a Toronto phone number then that will not change even though you are in Jamaica. Your phone number is still a Toronto number and you will not be charged for receiving the call in Jamaica.

It can be a bit difficult to get your head around, but because you 'connect' to the system via the internet normal location restrictions do not apply. Think of it the same as plugging a really REALLY long extension in at your home and taking it all around the world. Effectively your 'phone' does not move even though you are dragging that extension around the world.

Thank you.
