Those damn canadian telecoms....

[txxxx]

My girlfriend is in canada. I cannot call ANY Telus pay phones. The business line is 'too busy' to be called right now. Telus' policy is that they dont accept international calls on pay phones. Nor do they allow long distance calls - its been policy for 10 years apparantely...

Im sorry, but I was under the impression that the canadian network would be similiar to others. BT's allow international calls to their payphones, and cheap rates from payphones to international destinations. What makes Telus any different?

Bloody corporations and crap policy.....

It's my impression that all telus pay-phones are out-going calls only.

You're being harsh. It's not normal to me for a payphone to be incoming as well. But then again, I'm from Canada (British Columbia) as well.

If you read the OP everyone should have understood that.
