Well, useless information, perhaps. Useful for me, here is a compilation that I have put together. As usual, if you have any further information or corrections or what-have-you, please let me know!!

Thanks for the kudo on that. As a truck driver, I find it handy to have this sort of information. Not always able to access the internet when I am on the road, or need to get an update on-route.

If you manage to find any of the numbers I don't have, or find any corrections, please let me know!

Hi Fongo Support,

Does FPL/Fongo plan to implement the 511 (Road/Highway Condition Report) redirection for Ontario regions?

What does FPL/Fongo need in order to have the 511 service for your customers?

Thanks.

Hi there,

These codes are not supported to be dialed directly from your phone.

http://support.freephoneline.ca/entries ... -be-called

However, you can change your dial plan to map those numbers directly on your ATA and dial the desired code.

Similar with the below:

Hi Fongo Support,

Thanks for the reply.

I guess Fongo/FPL is not planning to implement this support forever. However, I still don't understand why not since it is just a simple number substitution.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, what you call " a simple number substitution" is a little more complicated than that.

Perhaps you can try my suggestion from earlier (dial plan mod) or try to transfer your number to a different provider who supports this functionality.
