|  [General] Local plan
Hi,
I'm looking for a VoIP plan with unlimited incoming, local unlimited outgoing and PAYG LD something like Vbuzzer has for Toronto and in the same price range.
Vbuzzer's plan would be good for me but they didn't have Montreal DIDs for the last year.
I wonder if Future-Nine is able to offer this plan. |

I can take Acanac NA 'unlimited' for 9.98 CAD tax included but since I don't do much LD I would prefer a 'local' plan for something around $50/year even I have to pay for 1 year in advance. |

Thanks for the fast reply. |

| Broavoice offers true unlimited, free number porting and free HT 502
(Well there is an activation fee so the equipment is not free) Ok so 2 out of 3 then. Shipping you would pay if you ordered it yourself elsewhere.
If you are not porting a number, and have equipment F9 may be cheaper since I do not see anything about taxes. Many of the mainstream companies charge these fees.
Before anyone says anything about them retaining numbers, it is a myth. I do not have them, I had them for 2 years a while back. I ported a number into and out of their lowest cost BYOD lite plan .

F9 has PAYG, and its rated #3 on this site. VOIPo is also good, but no PAYG. |

You don't want to take Acanac or for instance any other similar service. It's so cheap for a reason, trust me... No don't trust, just do some goggling for Acanac - it's an exemplary example.
The right approach is not to start from "unlimited" criteria, but rather to find a short list of reliable providers, and then see what can they offer to you. I would wholeheartedly support future-nine, but of course there are few more well regarded services. |

If you're willing to pay $50 in advance, maybe freephoneline.ca would be a solution for you ? They charge $50 to give you the ATA configuration then =theoretically= all the local calling is free.
They seem to have Montreal DIDs available. |
