ColonyDirectDial Inter-Colony Private Phone Lines For Colonies

ColonyDirectDial from HeliaVoice allows private colony to colony calling at a low cost. Its compatible with any phone system and provides very high quality.

Works With All Phone System

Whether your on a Shoretel, 3CX Phone System, Nortel or other phone system, ColonyDirectDial is compatible and will work. You do need a good quality internet connection but with a simple adapter, ColonyDirectDial can connect with Telus or Sasktel-like phone lines.

How Does It Work?

HELIA has issued colony numbers. Each colony can call a phone at another colony by dialing 7 + [ colony number ] + [ extension number ]. For instance, Camrose colony in Alberta is colony number 100. To dial the kitchen (extension 701) from another colony, you would dial 7100701.

The colony has complete control over what extensions can be dialled at their colony.

Can I cancel my other phone lines?

No. ColonyDirectDial is for colony to colony calling only. You cannot call regular phone number and you cannot recieve calls from people that are not at a colony.

How much does it cost?

We are providing two lines to each colony for free. Additional lines are at $18 / line / month for unlimited calling.

There is a $75 setup fee that is waived until December 31st. We provide support in configuring your current phone system with Colony Direct Dial. If you have an older Nortel or similar system, you'll need a ATA device that turns the internet into regular phone lines. This is $175 including shipping.

How Does My Colony Get Setup?

First step is to make a phone call and call us or fill in our request form. We will issue you the username and password to create the lines. If your using a Nortel or other older system you will need a FXO adapter to connect the new lines.
