I was reading that some users are having problems with 1-8xx numbers. What gives?

I get the same message when I try and call. Let’s tag a mod and see what they say. @CS_Agent

 

If you need to call this number urgently, please send a private message to the mods/customer service rep and explain the issue in detail. Hopefully the can fix it rather quickly. Pleased keep me updated here.

I am on a province-wide plan

 

PLUS I happen to have purchased a 200 minutes long distance bundle

 

Impossible to call 1-800-344-3370

 

I get the following message: "The number you have dialed is not available in your area at this time"

 

Someone please explain why or can someone fix this for me please?

Worked for me, but I'm on a Canada Wide plan.

I don't have an account yet. My wife does but it is Canada wide. I'd like to know if it works on a Province wide account, with and without an LD add-on, or if it's just a random error. (I'm thinking of getting a line with Province-wide.) People on RFD are saying this number and other 8xx numbers don't always work. This was as of yesterday.

Not sure why it's not working for you without an add-on. Which province are you in?  I'm located in Ontario and it called and connected on my first try.

A lot of people are having problems with this number. However, some say it sometimes works after many multiple tries.

Anyway you could provide the number here and I'll test it for you?

Is it absolutely confirmed that getting a LD plan solves this issue (at the expense of paid minutes).

Also, is this an issue with Canada-wide calling, or just province-wide calling?

My wife has a Canada-wide plan but no extra LD add-on.

just keep trying the 1800 number eventually it will connect
I've tested and usually the 5 try will go through

Yes, I believe so.

Eug

No. I just read that it's still happening right now.

Does having a long distance plan work as a workaround in the interim?

We used to have problems with some 1-877 numbers, but I think they fixed all that.
