Hi guys,
I often visit forums looking for advice, so I'm going to post my voip experience in case it helps anyone.
I pay for a local phone number on voip.ms that costs $0.85/month. I've been using them for years with a SIP phone adaptor for a home phone. It costs me $0.0052 / minute for outgoing calls to Canada, and $0.001 / minute outgoing to US. Incoming calls are $0.009 / minute. It's a great deal and allowed me to drop my land line.
On my cell phone I have unlimited provincial calling. I set up a second DID and my caller ID is set to my public mobile number. Now I can call out for 1/2cent to my family in another province and they call me back at my cell number.
Maybe worth checking out if you don't already have a VOIP number. BTW its a prepaid service, too, and it warns you if your balance is getting low.
Cheers!
