Do I need to cancel my existing long distance service?
That depends. If you simply want dial in service, adding DIRECT CONNECT long distance service to your line has no impact whatsoever on your existing local lines and/or long distance service. DIRECT CONNECT dial in service does not replace your existing services. It's simply an add-on that allows you to circumvent the exorbitant rates of your existing providers

Do I need a special telephone to use DIRECT CONNECT service?
No. As long as your telephone has touch tone service, you are good to go.

Do I need a PIN number to make long distance calls?
No, not from lines registered with DIRECT CONNECT. You'll need your PIN only if you have a pre paid account and want to make calls from non-registered lines while away from home on business or vacation.

Can I make multiple calls after I dial the DIRECT CONNECT access number?
For your safety and protection you have to hang up after you make a call.

Do I get a bill at the end of the month?
Yes. DIRECT CONNECT sends out a detailed invoice every month to all customers whose invoice exceeds $15. If you spend less than $15 in a given month, the calls will be carried forward to your next invoice .

Can I use DIRECT CONNECT long distance from my cellular phone?
Yes. Absolutely. Simply dial the DIRECT CONNECT access number, wait for the DIRECT CONNECT dial tone and enter the destination number you wish to reach and press #. Do not press "SEND" on your cellular phone after dialing the destination number or the call will be processed by your cellular provider instead of DIRECT CONNECT.

Is DIRECT CONNECT service available outside of Canada?
Yes. DIRECT CONNECT now offers service from U.S. wherein you can have the same low rates by using the 1-800 number.
