How to find out if your local number will
incur any charges. About 99% of
the time you can use the numbers on our local access number list and not
incur any charges.
Because we do not have any way to know for
sure if your local dialup number is 100% toll free we ask you to call
your local Telephone Company and verify there will be no charges.
Here is what you should ask them.
Caller.
Hi I am calling to see if the number my
Internet Provider gave me is toll free for my calling area.
I am calling from xxx-xxx-xxxx (number your
modem will be calling from).
I was told to see if xxx-xxx-5004 (number from our local access page for
your town) is a local toll free call.
Telephone Company.
Yes or No.
That's it! Most of the time there are no
issues. But there have been a few where customers get a long distance bill
and it can be very high if you are on-line for a long time. We cannot be
held responsible if you dial the wrong number.
Some of the reasons the number might not
be toll free are:
- The town you are calling from has
multiple calling areas due to its size or location.
- Some towns are served from more than one
location.
- One side of the town the number in our
list might be fine, but on the other side of town there might be toll
charges.
Again most of the time there are no issues
but better safe than fighting a large telephone bill. If you need any assistance in
picking the number please feel free to call our 800-886-2090 number and ask
for help in picking the local number for your town. |
