[resolved] Calls to 343-370-XXXX are not free!

Post by Funkytown »

I called from my Clearpointel Montreal Quebec number (514-447-XXXX) to my relatives in Cornwall Ontario that is (343-370-XXXX) which are supposed to be free. Calls to Cornwall Ontario at (343-370-XXXX) from Montreal Quebec (514-447-XXXX) are NOT free.
What happened to calls being FREE across Canada, anybody knows?

Thanks,
Funkytown

Only calls to certain areas (ratecentres) are free --- sounds like the Cornwall # may be a relatively new exchange ... and while CORNWALL is not on the official list of free calling cities, almost ALL of the CORNWALL exchanges in 613 are listed as FREE in the ratelookup tool ....

I am assuming that you have not yet forwarded this concern on to Steve? Taking that assumption, I will do so for you and it should soon be rectified!! :-)

Unfortunately I'm not seeing Cornwall as being a local call from any of our on-net cities.

Steve -- PM'd you re this, there are LOTS of 613-nxx's that are CORNWALL ratecentres that are tariffed as FREE it the ratelookup tool ... Sorry to say, but I think this one needs some more investigation ...

Thanks for the quick responses. I am very sorry for the late reply back,I was very busy.

See I was able to call other (613-933-xxxx) phone numbers located in Cornwall Ontario for over 4 years but recently a relative moved and Telus provided her with a new phone number starting with (343-370-XXXX) in Cornwall Ontario and a message saying "I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH OF SUFFICIENT FUNDS" after i tried contacting her new number several times.

I am a very happy customer and I hate to ask but will there be any update on this?

Thanks

Official PM back from Steve to me (sorry that I did not post earlier) was that CORNWALL is not officially ON-NET (free). I did a quick plug thru the ratechecker of ALL the other npa-nxx's of Cornwall, and all but 1 other WERE free. This could therefore be an ERROR on FPL's part, much in the way that they corrected the 807-error, Winnipeg & Halifax LCA's ... :-(

Cut and paste out of my PM box ...

This is what I thought too, but I plugged in several 613-based Cornwall #'s thru the ratechecker and found this ...


209 - not free
330 - FREE
360 - FREE
361 - FREE
362 - FREE
363 - FREE
551 - FREE
571 - FREE
557 - FREE
662 - FREE
703 - FREE
861 - FREE
870 - FREE
930 - FREE
931 - FREE
932 - FREE
933 - FREE
935 - FREE
936 - FREE
937 - FREE
938 - FREE

Therefore, you can see how one would THINK that it SHOULD be free .....

I was curious and thought it would be easy to double check as TheHardy did all the work (finding all the NXX for Cornwall).

So yes all those NXX belong to Cornwall. 209 though belongs to Iristel so I thought this was a number that slipped through FPL's fingers but 703 also belongs to Iristel and is a free call.

My bet is Steve or Kris will read this and in sometime in the day it will be fix.

Hi Funkytown,

Try now :)

Cornwall is now a free call from Fongo even though we aren't able to offer DIDs directly in this city for customers.

Huzzah! Another triumph of the digital era!

Good job sorting this one out... shame there's no DIDs there yet, I know a few people who could use "Fongo" (Still getting used to that.)
