We do not provide roll over minutes for any of the services we provide, incoming or outgoing.

Your unused minutes will not rollver from month to month under the North America 1000 and North America 500.

For example: If at the end of the month you have 100 minutes left under either plan those minutes will not be available for the next month. At the beginning of the new month you will have either 1000 or 500 minutes depending on the product you purchased.

Why can't I receive calls from outside Callcentric when using a Callcentric number as the callerID?

Calls are not routed solely based on caller ID; however the caller ID is taken in to account for some routing and billing purposes. Because of this, on an incoming call from outside the Callcentric network, if you pass a caller ID of a Callcentric DID/number the call will not be processed properly and will fail. We do this to prevent callerID spoofing.

You will generally hear the call ring endlessly or simply fail to fast busy signal. We will not accept these calls and they will not show up in your calling reports. In order to avoid this please do not use a Callcentric DID as the calleriD of an incoming call into the Callcentric network.

NOTE: The above also applies to SIP URI calling.

RETURN TO TOP

Can I have multiple outbound calling plans on a single Callcentric account?

Currently you are able to order a single outgoing service on your account. If you believe you need more outgoing minutes then you may choose another outgoing service which might suit your needs.

You can however have multiple incoming services on your account. In fact you may add as many as you need.

If you still have further questions on this topic please contact us for further assistance.
