Long Distance Calling - World Credits

Post by curt »

I have not bought any World Credits yet. What would happen if someone in my home used my phone to try to make long distance calls to some place not on Freephoneline's list of Free Calling Cities (http://www.freephoneline.ca/cityListing)? Will the call be blocked or would the call go through and I will get a bill later from Freephoneline? Am I correct to assume that I need to buy some World Credits first before anyone can make long distance calls?

Freephoneline for non-free destinations works like a prepaid service. I you try to call without world credit to these destinations, the call will not go through and you will hear a recorded message stating that you don't have enough credits for this call.
