Activity - Minutes

If you go to vonage.ca, they have a plan with province wide unlimited and 500 U.S. or longdistance minutes.

I think they are refering to this for regional minutes.

All incoming calls are free as well.

There is no local calling in Vonage service.

Even if you a call your neighbour and if you are in the $14.99 plan then that duration of the call is counted against the 500 minutes. Eek

No.

500 minutes means you get 500 outbound minutes, regardless of who/what/where you call-- with the exceptions of 800 numbers, international long distance, and other Vonage users, which are not counted against your minutes.

Incoming calls are "unlimited" in that they do not count against your 500 minutes-- unless you are forwarding them to another non-Vonage number (such as a POTS or cell phone), in which case they do count.

I was not aware that International long distance calls are not counted against the 500 minutes. Good tip. Applause

That's good catch. Clap

I bet lot of folks are not aware of this.

For the same reason you can pick any area code you want for any phone number (main or virtual) I don't think you can have regions for the purpose of charging diff rates. The would be like you calling from your main number to your virtual number of a diff area code and being charged long distance. It won't happen.

In network refers to both being V customers not distance to another city.

Logical??
Call a non-V person get charged minutes from the plan.

In-Account mins are not charged either.. since they are all incomming calls to a virtual number, but incomming means free. Smile

it just tells you how many mins were used on each of your virtual numbers, I guess so you can see if it's really worth having a certain VN .. if you only get 10 min sof calls in a month, let those ppl call you LD and save yourself $5 (or $8CDN) /mo.. lol...
