800 & 866 #'s

Post by bern09 »

Is there any way to use mj for 800 & 866 #'s? MJ says no, but there must be a way around this. I live in Canada, so I would want to use local 800 & 866 #'s.
Thanks

Hi, can you clarify what you mean by "use mj for 800 & 866 numbers"? Do you want your own toll free number that rings your MJ? Or do you want to dial 1-800 numbers? On the dialing, you can do it no problem, that's how I contact companies in the US which only allow their 1-800 numbers to accept calls from the US but not Canada (why do they do that when they will ship to Canada?). I believe getting a 1-800 number to ring on your MJ will work, the provider of the 1-800 number shouldn't care where the number terminates.

If I've mis-understood your question, give more details of what you want to achieve.

Thank you Tony. Yes, you are right that I can call 800 and 866#s. MJ must have thought that I wanted to pick a 800 number when I asked during the the registration process.
