General
Q.
Will I be able to use the address book or scroll
feature on my cellular phone to make long distance
calls?
A.
Yes, the address book feature should work with
this service, on all phones. To use it you will
need to program a separate entry for each destination
number you would like to call. Each entry will
include the local access number for the city you
are making the call from, a pause(p) and 1 + the
area code and destination number of the person
you are calling.
For example, if you are making a call from Toronto,
your entry will look like this: 416-642-8023-pause(p)-1-514-555-1234.
If you are unsure of how to program pauses into
your phone, please refer to your phone manual.
Please note that each phone is different and some
phones may not have this feature or it may be
referred to under a different name, for example,
space or link mark. To confirm that you have programmed
the access number and pauses correctly, you should
hear the following message prior to your call
going through: "For this destination you
have X minutes remaining." If you are unable
to use your address book with this service, you
will always have the option to enter each number
manually for all calls.
Q.
How will I use my Cell Phone while travelling?
A.
To do this make sure you have a long distance
plan with your wireless service provider otherwise
you will be charged roaming charges
by your wireless service provider. However you
will not be billed roaming charges or any other
fees by your service provider while using your
cell phone locally.

to use my cell phone with your service?

or agreements for our service.
