Affected number include 780-310-4300 (Epcor - local power / water utilities), 780-310-4638 (Telus Internet), and among others.


The 310 7 digit numbers don't work on FPL or Fongo. You have to find the full 10 digit number. Putting the area code in front of a 310 number unfortunately doesn't make it a full 10 digit number.

There is a couple of threads about this, mainly for people trying to call Pizza Pizza I think :D

This phone number use to work, now I am getting a message saying I should dial 1 or 0 to connect to this number. It is a good number
because I can call it on my land line and cell phone.

The number is 1905775xxxx in Bradford ON

Thanks.

Hi! I just signed up with Shaw land line recently in Edmonton and have a 587-524-XXXX phone number. Unfortunately it is not a free number on Fongo, can someone please advise why that is? Thanks.

It could be that it is a new number and it hasn't been added to the rate table yet.

I would have thought that 587-523 numbers are free and they are in the same local exchange as 587-524 will be free as well.

It's probably just the rate table that needs updating. Fongo_Neil used to monitor this thread for updates, if he isn't around anymore I am sure someone else will pass the information along and update it if needed.

Hi Jake,

I have opened a ticket for this issue on behalf of Luke and I will provide an update one it becomes available.

Thank you,

Hi there,

I just verified and 250-765 is on Rutland exchange.

http://www.localcallingguide.com/lca_pr ... nextdays=0

It looks like Rutland is not part of our free calling cities in Freephoneline.

http://www.freephoneline.ca/cityListing

http://www.freephoneline.ca/cityListing#bc

Please check again soon, we are growing really fast and it might be available really soon!

Thanks,

Thanks for following up on this! I assumed that Kelowna airport was in city it's named after! (Which is probably not the case for many airports today)

I moved this post to this thread as it is more relevant.

I have checked the number on CNAC and it indeed is in Winnipeg.
Code: Select all
431,999,8821,Rogers Communications Partnership (Wireless),In Service,Winnipeg,


Someone from Fongo will have to pick this up though and add it to the rate table. You might want to open a support ticket and PM the ticket number in to speed things up.
