I just found a weird charge on my buisness landline bill - $3.89 for a call to Calgary that I never made. Bell's looking into it, but I'm still annoyed I had to waste 28 minutes on the phone with them
Why WiMacTel Inc charges pop up on your bill!
Summary — +15879430411
Expert Opinion
Turns out these $3.89 charges stem from a third‑party payphone service that routes collect calls through WiMacTel Inc. Carriers label them as “third‑party” or “operator‑handled” and then bill the end user, even when the subscriber never placed the call. The pattern shows up on Rogers, Bell, Vidéotron and Telus statements across Alberta and other provinces. To avoid future surprises, flag the number with your provider, request a detailed call record, and ask for a reversal of any unauthorized fees. Consider setting up a block on unknown payphone prefixes and regularly audit your bill for similar line items.
