Where to purchase long distance credits if I FPL with ATA.

Post by darksniperx »

I have FPL with linksys ata adapter.

I am trying to call chilliwack bc, and it seems that it is not on free calling list.

When i tried to add credits from FPL account page, I have 2 option desktop app or mobile app. I am using neither!

Also I haven't found rate information on FPL website, i have found some on http://www.fongo.com/calling/long-distance/#rl , is the url correct for the rates.

Thank you!

I believe it is the Desktop App you want to add credits to. That should be the one people with the config file should be using. I'm 99.9% sure about it, but someone else should be able to confirm that though.

FPL's rate details are here http://www.freephoneline.ca/ldServices

I can confirm, you add funds to the desktop app (even if you are using an ATA).
I know this, because I have an ATA device (OBI) and I added funds to the desktop app (for long distance), and I did the $5 auto top-up method, and it works fine... I can now make long distance calls :D

Thanks for confirming Maxwell. I was pretty sure, but I don't use FPL for my out of area calls so I couldn't be 100%.
