New setup and porting phone number.

[frostiex]

Hi folks, i have been a long time lurker and getting rdy to jump the on the boat.

I have signed up for an fpl account and number in calgary. I have purchased a obihai box, (obi110)
my plan is to pay the $50 for the config file and test out the service with the obi110. If the service is good, then I will port my number.

MY questions is, when I decide to port my number, it will cost an additional $25. But will I have to pay the $50 again?
When I port the number, will it just take over my existing freephoneline number?
or will I actually have 2 lines?

Hi there,

Once you pay the $25.00 one time fee, you do not have to purchase the configuration file again, and yes, your freephoneline number will be replaced by the phone number you wish to port. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask away, or call us at 1.866.515.5550. Thanks for your interest

$50 + tax for config file

$25 + tax port your old phone numbers if you want to keep it with freephoneline. I am sure you want to do that so need to call and tell people that you change your phone numbers

Pretty sure bridonca has sent you a link to find where to buy the Obihai in Canada in another section of the forum. http://forum.freephoneline.ca/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3018

What if I've already paid for the config file and have a current FPL # and also want to pay the $25 to port my Bell # over. Can I pay another $50 for another config file and have 2 lines since my Linksys adapter has 2 jacks?

thanks

Yep. I have 3 FPL config files. Just set up another account (use a different email address when setting up a different account) then call in an say you want to port your number. As you say, they will charge you the 50$+25$ which pays for itself in a couple of months of not paying Bell.

If the site tells you you already have a FPL account, use a different browser or computer. You can have more than one no problems.
