Hi, I am now with TSI home phone and I want to sign up with Yak LD but under "Local Carrier" Teksavvy is not listed? What do I choose, Bell?
Thanks |

| Be careful with Yak. I have Teksavvy for phone and internet and they've screwed up my line so that I cannot dial longdistance at all. They tell me that Bell has placed a block on my like and Teksavvy is saying that Yak's system is not updated. I've had no LD since the switch and am frustrated. Any suggesions? |

I signed up with Teksavvy Home phone and signed up for Yak
LD and in the line you could only chose Bell there was no comment line. Its been like 2 weeks and still I am not with Yak LD. So I gave up and went with Skype for any LD calls. |

| Yak seems to have a problem with Teksavvy or just resellers in general. I spoke to a supervisor who said she could not find Teksavvy in their database. The said my line was bell but it's a reseller of bell. Not happy here. I've been using skype for LD but it's not the best. |

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. |

Since we are all spamming whatever LD carrier we use...  jk
I use »www.justdial.ca/home.html
I found it is the best and cheapest LD carrier I have found yet. It is 2.9 cents a minute to anywhere in North America, and the other countries rates are great too.
For instance I just checked the myworldtalk.com rate to Kenya. I call there (or get called) because I sponsor a little girl there. Myworldtalk's rate to Kenya is 43 cents a minute. Just Dial's is only 15.8 cents a minute.
The best part is, (and the main reason why I signed up) is because it is a prepaid account that DOES NOT expire! Unlike most other LD companies, your funds do NOT expire. And there are no other fees.
You call the Just Dial local number first (or a toll-free), then the number you want.
Check it out at:
»www.justdial.ca/home.html
No, I do NOT work for Just Dial Just happy I found them. |

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? |
