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.

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..

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:

  1. Public payphones.
  2. Hotel phones.
  3. College dormitory phones.
  4. 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 via a toll-free number, you do not need to notify your 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.
