Receiving calls from a Toll Free number

Post by shippy59 »

Can a toll free number I'm about to purchase for a small business be routed to a Fongo Home Phone number if I signup?

Looking for a way to bring in toll free calls to my residence but on a separate line.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

I don't see why not. The phone number you get is essentially a normal phone number.

If you want to test it, either set up a free number on the Fongo app, or FreePhoneLine desktop app, and send the calls to those. If it works to those it will work to either the Fongo Home Phone, or to a FPL unlocked account.

I think if anything the restrictions will be from the toll free number provider - I don't see what though.

Thanks Jake... Great idea....It worked with a FreePhoneLine..... I guess with Home Phone you would be able to create a personal voice message?

You will be able to with any of their services. They all have the ability to record a personalised message.
Both of their main home services are the same, there is just a difference in the level of support and how much you pay. Backend they are pretty much the same.
