Calling blocked numbers (*82)

Post by kgash »

When I try to call a number that requires *82 to dial, I get a recorded message that I have reached the Ymax Communication test number.
How do I dial numbers that require a *82 before the area code?

Do you have an example of a number that requires *82 to call? I'm not familiar with that.

Just went through a chat on the with tech support and found out that I just have to dial the 10 digit number. Apparently, majicJack calls make it through call blocking just fine.

I believe what he is referring to is people who block unknown callers from calling them. I have some friends who has paid their phone company to not accept calls from unidentified numbers. So if your caller ID is blocked it asks you to unblock it.

On most telephones, to unblock your caller ID for a specific phone call you dial *82

This would not affect your magicjack because the caller ID is not blocked.
