Dialling America - Toll Free

An American company has given me their 'toll-free' telephone number so that I could phone them 'free' from the UK.
However, when dialling the number, I receive an automated message saying that my phone 'is not registered to use this service.'
Searched on Forums/Web site - and all I can find is that I might have to pay a monthly fee to use this service and give one month's notice to terminate the agreement.  Surely not?  I only want to make one call!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's some advice here. Looks as though it's going to cost.
It might have been better to have a regular number from the company. A bit of research will get you calls to the US for 1p a minute simply by dialling an 0844 access number; I've used it many times.

  • Calling Toll Free Number in Japan

    I have $10 of Skype Credit and I have a Japanese Skype number. I am also in Japan. However, I still have not been able to make a call out to a land line, specifically a toll free number.  Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I'm totally confused.

  • Getting a toll-free number for callers

    I would like to have the option for some callers to dial in
    toll-free and others to not. Is there a way to do this? I found an

    able to find out how to set this up. Does anyone know?

    That is an advanced option but likely available with most business toll free plans.  Possibly you can configure through call screening.  somewhat of an unusual request but i can definitely see the value in offering a toll free numbers to a predefined group rather than everyone.  Would be interested to know the resolution you found.  KC, Great America Networks Conferencing  Free Conference Calls

  • I am unable to dial India toll free numbers from my iphone, these numbers are like 1800-***-1515. There is nothing as dial assist in Ios7.1.1 which i can disable and dial in india toll free numbers.Please respond if anyone has any solution

    Check this post, the dial assist is part of the iOS 7.1, according to page 49 of the iphone_user_guide
    Make calls to your contacts and favorites while traveling abroad. (GSM) Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Dial Assist. Dial Assist automatically adds the prefix or country code for calls to the U.S.
    This user had a similar problem and solved it by switching off the dial assist feature in Settings/Phone/Dial Assist

  • Is there a way to create a toll free number using an app?

    Is there a way to create a toll free number using an app?

    I guess if you owned your own network you could. But, if you owned the network, you wouldn't need an app. Otherwise, how do you think you're gonna just create a "toll free number"?

  • Can no longer connect to toll-free 888, 866, 877 numbers from iPhone

    Why not call the non-toll free numbers. It costs the same. Some toll free numbers have territorial limits and sometimes cell phones, even though they are in the proper territory, the way that they are routed sometimes cause toll free numbers to reject them.

    ...which is very weird, because these are all toll-free confrence lines that I routinely dial into on a weekly basis.  What is going on? I CAN dial into these lines from my land line, so the problem is not on that end.  Anyone else experience this -- and hopefully a solution?  So far, I seem to be stumping the techs on the live chat.

  • Toll- ¨FREE¨numbers are not so Free with a subscri...

    I am in Mexcio, needing to make a nuber of calls to Canada & the USA, many of them toll-free numbers (1-800 / 1-888...) but, my PAID SKYPE subscription has been eaten up by these Toll-free numbers, which have you navigate through voice menu options, which then eats up time.
    And of course I can´t get any Skype support beyond communty members issues, that have their own issues with skype & don´t answer my issue directly.
    This is ridiculous!
    I have managed to get a hold of other websites / providers who don´t even begin to make the money Skypde does, so what IS the money being used for, since customer support is clearly not one of them, nor is good user-friendly websdesign???!!
    Completely unimpressed Skype.
    Feels like a scammer who won´t allow himself to be contacted. Why? Too busy selling more product to unwary buyers.

    I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

  • How to identify toll free numbers in CUCM

    Hi 
    I am new to this Cisco VOIP system.
    My Company has many toll free numbers. I need to know where can I find the toll free number details. I had a request today to alter few settings in them. But I dont know what to do and where to do. 
    Eg : 800326xxxx is the number. Request is - When people call in, they have to press 1 for billing and 2 for sales and 3 for enquiry and 4 for voice mail. 
    How do I go for it. Where should I start. 
    Again As I am new, I really appreciate if someone could explain how to identify these toll free numbers in this cisco system and help me in this request with simple steps and simple english. THanks.
    Deva

    Usually the toll free number resides at the service provider and they just translate that number into one of your DIDs.   You can either look through documentation or call the service provider to ask which 1800 numbers map to which DIDs.   From there it sounds like you'll need to investigate call handlers in your voicemail system correlated to that DID.

  • Cannot dial toll-free numbers

    This morning I had to call an 866- number, and received a recorded message from Verizon "We're sorry, your number cannot be completed as dialed.  Please check the number and try again....blah blah".   Repeated attempts produced only a fast "busy" signal.  This number is in my CONTACTS and I've called it numerous times in the past, so I know I have the right number!  Tried to dial from my husband's wireless phone and got the same recorded message.
    I then tried to call various long-distance (non-verizon) numbers - no problem.
    Called a local number (non-verizon) - no problem.
    Then I tried an 800- number and received the same recorded message as above. 
    I do not have a land line, so I went to my neighbor's house to make the 866- phone call from her land line -- no problem!  The call went through immediately.
    Just wondering if there is a known problem with toll-free calls right now??   Hopefully it's not just me and they're working on it!

    There must be a fiber line cut somewhere around us as I can not call an 800 number either. I am about ten miles away from you.

  • Re-directing Toll free numbers to Skype

    Hi,
    Our company in Australia has started using skype for communication purposes and we would like to add a toll-free number to the services. I have discovered from the other posts that skype doesn't allow to add toll-free numbers.
    If so, can we re-direct the toll-free numbers to the skype numbers so that we can continue tracking the call logs and take maximum benefit from using skype.
    Please let me know the procedure to do the above.
    Thank you

  • Toll free calling and automated menu recognition

    When I phone a toll free number with my iPhone 5, the automated system is not receiving any of my input. For example, if the automated system says press 1 for English, I press 1 and it won't recognize I'm pressing 1. Or press 5 for sales, it won't recognize I'm pressing 5. Any solutions?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Toll Free termination issues

    Over the past several days I've had issues with calling several toll free numbers which end up in the Cincinnati area.  Called the toll free provider and they don't see an issue but said they look like dropped calls coming into their network from an interconnect.  A few friends have also noticed the issue as well.  We make a call to the toll free.  The call will ring a few times then disconnect.  Almost like a time out or something.  Any ideas or known issues?

    No.  It seems to be several toll free numbers.  I can only make it happen when calling via verizon wireless.  I opened a ticket with vwsupport and they looked at several things then sent it on to the network guys.  I also have had conversations with the toll free owner and carrier.  They are seeing the issue coming into them and trying to sort it out from that direction as well.  Must be an issue either in the vw core network or some intermediate between you and the terminating carrier, which I think in this case is Cincinnati Bell Any Distance.
