A customer who wishes to block his or her phone line (regular residential, business and business key systems & PABX) from calling a cellphone may request FSM Telecom to assist with the block. FSM Telecom will assess the “cellular mobile number blocking” service at $6.00 for setup (one time fee) and bill $2.00 per month per telephone number.
The only cell phones compatible with the FSMTC system are Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) phones, operating on a 900 Mhz-wide band. A GSM phone uses a SIM card, a chip or "smart card" that holds the user's account and mobile number.
Can I buy a cell phone somewhere else (such as Hawaii) and use it in the FSM?
Yes. You can buy a cellphone anywhere, provided that it is not locked by any telecommunications company or service carrier and is compatible with the FSMTC network (GSM-900).
