Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / October 2006New long distance option ????
FIDO ACCEPTS DIALAROUND LD: Rogers' Fido cellular service now has its first dialaround long distance provider. Montreal-based Buzz Telecom (10-11-555) offers Fido customers Canada-U.S. calls for 4.5 cents/minute. Has anyone tried this ? 10-11-555 does work. And I called Fido, and although the 4 legged furry CSRs haven't been trained on this, the ifnormation is hidden in their system. Asking thenm to search for "Buzz" makes them find the info (Buzz telecom is the one that provides 10-11-555) So, instead of paying $0.30 for long distance, you spend only $0.045 cents per minute. It is billed to your Fido account, but those sums do not generarte Fido dollars. This works for both Canada and USA. Do you have to call in to get it activated? > 10-11-555 does work. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > This works for both Canada and USA. Yeah, BUT it is $.99 / minute for the first 50 minutes then $0.039 minute... At least according to there website! > 10-11-555 does work. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > This works for both Canada and USA. > Yeah, BUT it is $.99 / minute for the first 50 minutes then $0.039 minute... > > At least according to there website! What I saw was that $0.99 for the 10.11.289 service. If you look at the "news" they have just announce the per minute 10.11.555 service but couldn't find any details. However the 4 legged furry Fido CSR did see the mention of the 0.45 cents per minute on his internal computer system. Is this no. only a Montreal number?

Try it 10115551aaaxxxnnnn where aaa is area code, xxx-nnnn is the phone number. Then press "SEND". |
