pls help, guys Tollfreeforwarding not working

[meanhh]

I just registered a trial acc and successfully activated.
im currently living in australia, so pick phone number from freeforward and forward it to my mobilephone number.
When i using other phone and tried to make call,i could hear the dial tone but actually,i haven't received any call from my mobile number.
i tried to type +61 3 9377... , 03 9377... and even 9377... but it doesn't works as well
can anyone had experience, pls help me

firstly there is a chance that trial numbers they give you are recycled, therefore useless for your purposes,

secondly, whilst it is possible on some mobiles to get the verification call, it is better to get it forwarded to real phone, that way the automated call picks up the tone when you press the code in to the phone.

Be very very careful to cancel your "trial" on time, i was hit with $24 charge for a number i ended up not using, and overall bad experience with them.

and i agree they do use recycled numbers.

why dont you get Australian VOIP numbers....they are cheap and reliable...

there are many, but if you are stuck here is one that is reasonable:

https://www.mynetfone.com.au

costs $30 for 1 year, for each number. (so about $2.50 AUD per month)

you can have the number ring to a software on your computer....or to your regular phone (if you use an ATA device - Analog Telephone Adapter)

regarding cancelling tollfree, cant exactly remember as it was more then a year ago, but just login your account and you should be able to find it there somewhere.

if u want pm me ur msn or yahoo mesenger id ...we might be able to do something constructive, i cud giv u a few pointers among other things.

Good luck!
