Can not call to area code 250 in BC

Post by Avster »

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to call BC area code 250 and it tells me "your account balance is insufficient to place your call to that destination."
I thought BC was covered in the free calling list ???

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Avster.

(I just found out that The area code 250 also serves the United States city of Hyder, Alaska.-- is it possible to have same area code for BC and Alaska? if so is that why freephoneline is telling me that insufficient founds?

Well I think I have read this right -> This is a list of the call centers that FPL have via their parent group http://www.localcallingguide.com/lca_pr ... nextdays=0

Now I think reading that you can only dial 604-xxx and 778-xxx numbers in the BC area.

If it ain't on the list, it ain't free...
