| VOIP in Cobourg?
Hi,
I thought Cogeco users might know this, so I'm asking.
I need a VOIP service that has incoming numbers in Cobourg (or somewhere that can be dialled locally by Cobourg regular telephone users). I don't care about outbound, just need a Cobourg DID. I spend part of the year in Cobourg and have Cogeco service there.
I use Vonage for outbound calling when in Cobourg because I also use it from Brazil, where I am located most of the time. It is associated with a Toronto number.
Vonage offers "virtual" numbers that will ring on my account, but none that are local to Cobourg. (For example, I have a number in Peterborough for relatives there.) I can't find Cobourg numbers from any of the services I know of that offer DIDs throughout Canada. I need a number that can be forwarded to another VOIP number, of that can be accessed through a VOIP adapter such as a Sipura while I am away from Cobourg.
Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a VOIP service that can provide a Cobourg number? |

Brazil/Cda | Cogeco Digital Phone wouldn't have worked for me anyway, to be honest. Too expensive, not portable, no way to economically forward calls to Brazil etc. I am really hoping for a simple Cobourg DID that I can manage myself. |

Hi Toollio,
I'm not aware of any VoIP providers that have DIDs available that are local to Cobourg. The best thing I could think of doing if you really need a local number there, would be to get a toll-free number from a VoIP provider, then people could call you for free .. don't know what else to suggest.

Brazil/Cda | I should have mentioned that I do have a toll-free VOIP number through Les.net. But I find people are reluctant to use it--particularly non-business callers. Not sure why. |
