calling home from other countries?

Post by pete_fpl »

i'm curious how this works, if it works at all. if i'm visiting europe, and bring a laptop with fpl installed, then call my home's 416 area code, could i call home for free? or will i be charged long distance? how exactly does this work?

Yep, you can call home for free. People can also call you just like they could when you were back at home.

Do note that we can't provide support when our service is being used out of country though. Some international countries/ISPs filter their services more stringently, filter VOIP, etc. and any of the above may cause issues that are out of our control.
