I am helping my frd to look for a cheaper plan for her mom
but shaw, bell, telus are all about $2X-30 for unbundled plan......
and I came across city telecom, $12/month
City Telecom, italkbb, teksavvy... They are all VOIP phone
In the first place, you need to be using cable connection at home...
Second, the voice quality may have "a bit" degradation (depends on company and your data traffic, can be solved by router adjustment)...
Third, for multi handset system at home, VOIP (according to menu) cannot use the wall jack in the house unless you have disconnected the power source of those jacks...
In your post, if you are asking any "good", I would say YES in terms of the price, especially if you are making LD calls back to Asia. It save you quite a bit on the phone bill.
BUT...
If you are (on the other hands) asking for the bad, as you can see from the above, there are quite a few. If you can live with those weaknesses, it should be the way to go...
Lastly, I would ONLY recommend VOIP phone to areas which have reliable data and power connection, i.e. if you are living in areas which run out of power couple times in a year (because of wind, snow, etc.... touch wood), Telus should be the choice.
I'm using LAND LINE NOT VOIP from Primus... Basically it's the same Telus line but just ported to Primus.
I do have VOIP but it's CITI owned with a HK tel number.
Well, I originally signed up with a company called WinTel that replaced my Telus line (land line is the same but WinTel bills me instead of Telus), many years ago. Then Primus took over WinTel and now Primus bills me.
