Why +1 800-959-8281 fails from a foreign phone

On a toll-free number, Canada Revenue Agency pays for the call instead of you. Carriers generally only route these calls from networks inside the area the number covers, here Canada. A call from a foreign SIM, or from a home SIM roaming on a foreign network, has nobody to bill it to, so the network rejects it. You usually hear "your call cannot be completed as dialled", a fast busy tone or silence.

That's why Canada Revenue Agency lists +1 613-940-8495 for callers outside Canada. Dial that one with VoixCall.

Record the call and keep the reference number

A call to Canada Revenue Agency usually ends with a case or reference number and a promise about what happens next. After a long hold, in a second language, it's easy to miss a digit.

Switch on Record on the VoixCall dialer before you call ($0.003/min). If you've also turned on "Record and transcribe my calls" in Settings in the web app, about a minute after you hang up Call History shows a short summary, the reference numbers that were said (each with a Copy button), what each side agreed to do next, and the full transcript, for $0.02/min.

Recording is off by default. Canada Revenue Agency hears a short recording notice when the call connects, and only you can see your recordings and transcripts. Speech-to-text can mis-hear fast numbers, so check important digits against the recording. Recording laws differ by country. How call transcripts work →
