use freephoneline.ca account from cell phone

Post by ihtus »

Hello,

I have account on voipwise.com and there an option to use that account to call anywhere from my cell phone. So basically I use cell phone, I call a voipwise.com toronto phone number, then I enter the phone number I want to call. The money for the call are taken from my voipwise.com account.

Is it possible to have same thing with my freephoneline.ca account?

I use the same option with VoipBuster for international calls after dialing a local VoipBuster voice server number in Montreal.

However this feature is not currently available with freephoneline.ca

What you can do is install some SIP software in your phone and configure it the same way you configure the SIP box at home.

You can use a SIP phone if you have bought the unlock key, which there is a one time fee of $50. Then you would load your account with World Credits and then you will be able to call anywhere (free calling areas or not).

Another option would be to open a Fongo account, which is free, that has a mobile app. You would then again load your account with world credits and make your calls.

With either of these options you won't have to dial access numbers, you would use either a SIP phone in the case of FPL and the mobile app in Fongo's.
