free or low cost voip with caller id.

TANSTAFL and all that, and I still think it's a bait-and-switch, but freephoneline.ca if you pay $50 for the "unlock" to use your own ATA (to use a real telephone with their service).

Otherwise, voip.ms, which costs $0.99 a month for the phone number, $0.01 (one cent) per minute for inbound calls, and $0.0052 (about half a cent) per minute for outbound Canadian calls. That's probably just about the cheapest non-free service you'll find.

Personally, I'd trust voip.ms more.

Hey,

I have been on vbuzzer for a few years, my parents too.

I got my atas on kijiji.

5$/month local calls, CID and VM.

Some people seem to have bad experience with them, but as I said I have nothing to complain... They even have a voip app if you have an android phone.

I like them. No phone support, ticket support is slow, don't expect a fast answer.

I also recommend voip.ms. I recently cut the cord with Bell, and went with them for my VoIP service. The company is actually headquartered here in Montreal, but they have servers all over the place, so you can connect to different servers based on your location (if you are with Teksavvy for example, the Toronto server would give you better latency than the Montreal one). They fully support CallerID.

I would recommend voip.ms but the charge for incoming calls is a dealbreaker if you use your phone a lot.

For example my grandma spends all day at home and could easily use up 5000 voice minutes a month on local calls. If half of that was incoming calls, voip.ms would charge $25 for incoming calls (2500 minutes * $0.01).

To realize any savings you have to be a very very light phone user. I use voip.ms for voicemail only (~$2 / month) and cell phone with Wind for unlimited CA/US calling.

I'll use voip.ms if I need to call Europe, but the software phone embedded in Gmail is also a good alternative and charges about the same rates as voip.ms for outgoing overseas long distance.

The gmail phone is really great, free US/CA calls. It's too bad you can't get a number in Canada.

Hello newcust123,

I know of a voip service that you can use in montreal or All U.S./Canada/Europe with free long distance in the U.S/Canada and 60 other countries, call display and 15 other features, all for less than $40.00 a month.
You should get in contact with me for more info. Anyone interested can contact me for that matter for more info.

Does it have unlimited long distance to cell phones in France for $40?

give me your email and I'll send you some info on it

Just post it here I don't want to sign up with some sketchy invite only service

Actually I signed up to the forum to see if I could find some info on Bell Canada, Like email address's to some of the Presidents and Vice Presidents. I am having a mojar issue with my cell phone and have been waiting for Bell to fix it now for over 5 weeks now.
So never joined to push no invites on anyone.

reply to Shaman515
He pm'd me it is a direct selling service so maybe he didn't want to reveal his name.

"overseas calls terminating on a wireless phone or private numbers are not included in this plan and are subject to higher rates" - at 24 c/ minute this double the rate of voip.ms. Sad cause most people don't have a landline anymore. Anyway thanks but no thanks it's not for me.

Thank you BliZZardX, I will give him a try and as for the overseas calling, with the Home Unlimited World Plan
you get Get unlimited Local and Long Distance calls to more than 60 countries, including India, Mexico and the UK. No more counting minutes or worrying about pricey long distance calls.
Try it, If you don't like it or agree with it cancel it. I have it and call my buddy over in Whales and I don't get charges long distance charges

You seem to be a strange cookie and I think that you may have been dropped on your head at a very young age or maybe you are still a very young person.

reply to BliZZardX

Thank you PRIUS, I have to go write an email to both of these individuals and get my issue resolved once and for all.

A relative of mine use Talkit.ca , 60$ a year, have it for three years and seem to like the simplicity of it.

Like others here I don't use the phone much so I have voip.ms , it has many advanced features like configurable caller filtering and Digital Receptionist.

reply to Shaman515
Well at least I'm willing to say what I think out here instead of enigmatically trying to hooking people in via PMs.
