Can't Call 877 Number

Post by pitcritter »

I'm trying to call 1-877-432-3473. It's Direct Air's reservation line. It works fine on my Rogers cell, but not with FPL. Is there a workaround?

Have you tried dialing the number without the 1 prefixed before 877? So: 8774323473.

Not a problem pitcritter. In our system, we automatically prefix a 1 to most calls unless prefixed with 011, or are global exceptions such as *98, 911, 411, etc.. because our free calling area spans accross Canada, it would be a hassle to dial a 1+ each number outside of your city, because it's free!
