Credits
•if credit is not applied to your phone within 90 days from purchase, you lose
it!
•All credits expire after a year, even the $25 one!
•99 cents is deducted every month (“911 fee”)
•Phones come with a $5 credit, calls are 25 cents per minute
Long distance calls
hat will be a long distance call and what’s local? It seems there’s no
straight answer.
According to customer service …
Calls to the same area code as your phone are local
Calls to all other area codes are long distance
Example, if your phone is from Ottawa, area code 613
Ottawa to Hull long distance
Ottawa to Vancouver long distance
Ottawa to Cornwall local
Vancouver to Vancouver long distance
Vancouver to Ottawa local
Vancouver to Cornwall local
However, I made a call from Ottawa(613) to Hull(819) and was only
charged 25 cents
Voice mail
•It's free… unless you use your cell phone to check your messages
•hen a message is left, the phone makes a noise. The voicemail icon
appears on the phone and stays until you listen to the message. Access
from a regular phone is free. Call your cell phone number, and when the
voice mail system answers, press # and enter your code.
