Dialaround Services - how are they billed?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

A friend and fellow VZW customer needs to use a dial-around service to call
family in Cuba. Is it possible to use this with a VZW phone? If so, how
does the call get billed? Are there any VZW charges (aside from plan
minutes) applied?

Thanks

You cannot use a "dial around" so called "10-10-XXX" CAC with any
cellular service. If you can find a service that either uses regular
POTS numbers (like Gorilla Mobile for instance) or uses a toll-free
800/888/877/866 number to access the service that will work. CACs
will not work with cell phones.
