Use the local VM access number for LD calls

Post by sl9280 »

FPL currently make purchasing LD pre-paid voucher a lot easier on-line. It will definitely stimulate the LD call revenue by encouraging users to make LD calls using their softphones and ATA home phones.

May I suggest FPL to kindly consider enhancing the VM local access number's capability to not only for checking voice mail but also be able to initiate LD calls after VM account login.

I know that Google Voice provide this function into their VM access number by pressing "2" after login.

This is a very convenience method for FPL users to make LD calls anywhere in Canada by dialing in a local access number instead of using the softphone and home phone provided that the users has credits into their accounts.

For additional security, it may require users to pre-register a list of phone numbers into their account that will be allowed to make LD call when they call the local access number and after entering the pass code (most LD VoIp providers doing this e.g. Jumblo.com).
