Buy long distance Minutes

Post by Yroc »

Looking at the web site, it would seem the option of buying long distance minutes is "COMING SOON".

I found out by accident today that it was already available. Suggest you update the web site.

They are available, however not for purchase online - Which is what that is referring to, this will be updated as soon as online purchasing is available.
In the meantime, feel free to give us a call to purchase these!

I have the worldline unlimited long distance (which I presume is the same one FPL offers.) Will there be a time when we won't have to dial an extra number to use it?

I am told you can dial direct. Right now when I try to make such a call, I get a message: "Your account balance is insufficient to place your call to that destination".

I assume that is because they (FPL folks) have yet to add the amount to my account.

Are things working for you now?
If not, PM me your number and I'll check this out right away because the balance shouldn't take too long to be added to your account after paying.

and you are correct about the direct dial!

This is exactly what I have been looking for.

Do you have a link to rates to various countries and what denominations they can be purchased in?

You can purchase in increments of $5, $20 and $50

All long distance vouchers are direct-dial as well.
