The parents have been using it for over 3 years now. All you have to do is dial an access number then the 10 digit number you want to reach. For 3.95$/mnt it gives you unlimited Canadian LD anytime. Beats Bell's Simplitel plans all the way. I think now, you can register 2 numbers for that price, therefor, if you have a cell phone, it can work for both. |

| Just curious, why not go with a full VoIP provider and an ATA?
I use Call Centric (callcentric.com) and love them. $.02/min anywhere in North America, fax reception by email, nationwide access numbers so you can get your $.02 rate at payphones and such. Voicemails to email, etc, etc, and only $1.95/mo for your own DID (phone number).
And their account management website interface is second to none. I swear I don't work for them or anything, I just put them right up there with Teksavvy. Prob my two favorite companies right now. |

| I tried Concentric. I was given a 1777 internal number. Interestingly, the voice quality was very poor for 416 and 905 calls. When a call goes to other areas, it seems to work fine. I have changed different codecs but still with no difference. I'm not sure if this is your experience. |

I had problems with Call Centric I trialed Call Centric for 1 month with a 647 DID using a PAP2T ATA. While the outgoing calling was great, I had incoming call problems from others callers in Canada, particularly during peak times at night. This would result in incoming calls getting a busy signal (not system busy). Sometimes it was necessary to call my number 10 times before it rang. I was able to consistently reproduce the problem many times. Their support eventually gave up, and so I ditched the test DID. I suspect their upstream provider for Canada stinks. I also had a few problems dialing Japan with them.
Their dashboard is excellent, as you described.
I'm now testing Unlimitel using TrixBox and IAX2. SOLID!

I thought about VoIP at first but it would cost like $150 in activation/installation fee with Dry DSL, or is the jack installation included with Dry DSL? |

The activation fee on TSI's site is $19.99. You will get one jack installed, in a place of Bell Canada's choosing (probably outdoors on the hydro meter) as a demarcation point, if you bug the technician. It isn't hard to install your own wiring after that. If you're lazy, one of those 100 ft. telephone extension cords would do (although it will play hell with your stats).
If you're lucky, you'll be in an apartment or older townhouse, in which case you'll have the demarcation point indoors. |
