Pay as you go LD = Follow Me LD ??

Post by Pirate »

From what I heard, PAY AS YOU GO is just around the corner. Once this feature is live and active, I assume we will be able to FOLLOW ME to a Long Distance number as well? It would be great if the FOLLOW ME feature can be forwarded to an international number as well in case if one goes out of the country.

This may be possible, yes. Keep in mind this would incur the international charges to your account once it's passed to the international number.

I don't believe we will implement this feature right away. But as it is possible, as Admin mentions, we will be sure to bring it up and see if they'll let that happen in future. However, no promises though!

This sounds pretty straight forward, as long as its charged to the FPL account the same way for any Long Distance calls, regardless if its a regular LD call, or a FOLLOW ME call, it should not make any difference right? Its just a feature that makes it more convenient for the traveller.

Absolutely correct, again as Steve said we will be sure to bring it up and see if they'll consider it for the future, however we cannot make any promises.
