Q: How does DynaSky work?
DynaSky is a cost-effective alternative to other long-distance
providers. DynaSky utilizes the broadband and fiber-optic
global telecom network to provide you excellent quality
on all your long-distance calls virtually anywhere in
the world. To subscribe to our service, just fill out
the simple sign-up form on our Web site and submit it
to us. We will then e-mail you a confirmation letter,
which includes your PINs (personal identification numbers),
log-in information, and usage instructions. To place
a call, just dial the toll-free number included in your
confirmation letter. If you signed up for DirecDial
and you are dialing from a DirecDial number, you can
then dial the number you wish to reach immediately,
without entering your PIN. If you are dialing from a
non-DirecDial number, you must enter your PIN before
you dial your destination number. (For domestic calls,
dial 1 + area code + phone number + #, for international
calls, dial 011 + country code + city code + phone number + #)

Long-Distance Services
Q: Does DynaSky work from a rotary
phone?
No. A touch-tone telephone is required
for our system to process your calls. Top..
Q: Can I use DirecDial if I have Caller-ID block?
It depends on whether we can receive your caller-ID or not. In some cases, we can receive the caller-ID even with phones that are set up to have caller-ID block. In some other cases, we can't recognize the caller-ID and will not be able to provide you the DirecDial function. DirecDial should work even if you have caller-ID block when you use the toll-free access numbers. If your phone is set up to have caller-ID block and wish to access our network through our local access numbers, please deactivate caller-ID block by dialing *82 before dialing the local access number. Note: Some cellular phones may not work with DirecDial and certain cellular phones request dialing different keys to deactivate caller-ID block. Please consult with your cellular phone carrier. Dialing *82 will only temporarily disable the caller-ID block of that particular call. Caller-ID block continues with subsequent phone calls if *82 is not entered. DirecDial feature is only available in U.S. and Canada. Top..
Q: How to use DynaSky eCard if I have already set up DirecDial & EZ Phonebook?
- Dial our access number
- US 48 States: 1-866-DynaSky (396-2759)
- Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands & Saipan: 1-877-332-1085

- Enter Pin (If your DirecDial is set up, you can go straight to step 3)
- Follow the voice prompt and enter your EZ Phonebook 2 digits code + "#"
(EZ Phonebook must be set up at Account Pages before you can use it)
Important Notes: If you have set up DirecDial on your mobile phone, please DO NOT press any other key other than the “#” sign after you dial the destination number. If you press the “send” or “call” button on your mobile phone after dialing the destination number, you might be making the call through your wireless carrier instead of via DynaSky eCard. DynaSky shall not be responsible for the charges resulting from your wireless carrier. Top..
Q: How many PinDial and DirecDial numbers
can I have?
For each account you can have a total
of up to four (4) numbers. So you could have two DirecDial
and two PinDial numbers, one each for your home and
business; or three DirecDial numbers covering your home,
office, and cellular phones, and one PinDial number
for the road. You decide what works for you. Top..
Q: Can I use DynaSky from a payphone?
Yes. However, the FCC (Federal Communications
Commission) allows a surcharge to compensate for operator
services. In certain instances, a 99 ¢ fee may be assessed
and billed to your account when you use DynaSky from
a payphone. (Click here to read more about payphone
charges.) Top..
Q: What is the $0.99 surcharge on my
call detail report?
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission)
allows companies that operate payphones to attach a
surcharge for their services. Such "operator services"
are typically accessed from the following locations:
- Public payphones.
- Hotel phones.
- College dormitory phones.
- Commercial phone line systems.
The surcharge will
appear after any applicable calls in your call detail
record. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine whether
this charge will be assessed until your call is placed
and the charge appears on your statement. Generally, all
public payphones will assess this surcharge, while not
all of the other locations will. (Click here to read more
about payphone
charges.) Top..
Q: How
is usage calculated?
We use full-minute
increments to calculate your usage, with partial minutes
rounded up to the next full minute on each call. Top..
Q: If I reach my
credit limit, is my call disconnected?
Yes. You will be given a voice notification
when you have one minute of call time remaining. When
that minute is up, your call will be terminated. To prevent
this from happening, we recommend you periodically visit
your account online to keep tabs on the amount of credit
you have remaining, and refresh it when it is low. Top..
Q: What is your rate for in-state calls?
With our toll-free
access number, our rate for in-state calls is the same
as our rate for state-to-state calls. Top..
Q: Do I need to notify my current
long-distance carrier or my local phone company of my
choice to use DynaSky?
No. Because you access DynaSky service

phone company of your choice to use DynaSky, nor do you
have to cancel your current long-distance carrier. Top..
Q: Am I charged for calls that aren't
answered or for calls that result in a busy signal?
No. If you are charged
for a call that was not answered or for a call that resulted
in a busy signal, however, e-mail support@dynasky.com with information
pertaining to the incorrectly charged calls, and we will
credit your account promptly. Top..
Q: Will my call be disconnected if
I recharge my account immediately after I hear the one-minute
remaining prompt?
Yes. Although your
account balance will be credited immediately in real-time
as you recharge it, our system takes a snapshot of your
account balance when you place your call, and determines
the call's maximum length of time from that balance. It
will not recognize your new balance until you hang up.
You will have to hang up or let the system disconnect
you and place the call again to continue the conversation
with your new credit balance. Top..
