Overview
By default, international long-distance calling is disabled. Group administrators can ask for it to be enabled (by contacting customer service) and they can set an authorization code that'll be required when making international calls. Rogers long-distance rates will apply.
Note: This feature only applies to Legacy plan customers.
To create long distance authorization codes
- Go to smartvoice.shawbusiness.ca.
- Log in using your group administrator credentials.
- Select the Group Services tab.
- Select Calling Plans and select Authorization Code from the dropdown menu.
- Set Number of Digits to a numeric value (eg. 4) if you think the default length of 10 digits is too long.
