Busy Call Return / *66

I know Telus has this ability but I can't get it to work here. Am I doing something wrong or is this feature just not available at PM?

Following the Telus instructions, I hang up the busy call then dial *66. Unfortunately I get "your call cannot be completed as dialed"

Looking at Telus this is a paid feature. Public Mobile is prepaid so it won't work.

@BeachNBeer I completely missed the fact that I was looking on the Telus site for businesses with no mention of pay per use. Thanks.

The only time in 50 years of using the phone that I tried to use it lol.

The *66 call return feature was for land-line/POTS service. I don't think this feature ever existed on cellular/mobile phones.

@Nezgar Thanks. I guess in hindsight I should have looked closer at the Bell/Telus/Rogers sites as you are correct, they apply to home phone service. I don't have one so never thought of that. Soon, kids will ask "what's home phone"?
