Follow Me and Rogers My5

Post by diller »

Hey there, just wondering if I put my freephoneline number as a my 5 and then use the follow me program will that save me on all my incoming calls on my cell as long as I get my friends to call the freephoneline number?

Thanks,
Diller

No, your friends number will be passed through as the caller ID and not your FPL number.

Sorry.

The only way to use the FPL account to save with MY5 or a similar set up is to keep changing the Forwarding to whatever number you really want to call, and dial into your FPL #, which then fwd's to your desired # .... add the FPL # to your MY5 and enjoy basically unlimited outbound as long as you continue to update your FPL fwding # ....

Kind of tedious, but it will work ...

Very effective if you have access to Wi-Fi from where you are trying to make the call as you can log into your account from a laptop/computer or a smartphone and make the change on the go.
