  1. Rogers is doing something similar in Canada by RobinH · · Score: 1 · on Comcast Lying About Vonage

    We use Rogers for cable service here, and they have a competing phone product (Rogers home phone). When my mother was talking to Rogers about switching to Vonage, the Rogers rep. said you "can't dial 911" with Vonage. Certainly 911 service works a bit differently, but to say you can't dial 911 is a lie. Here's the vonage page about it: 911 Dialing.

  2. Other Telcos Available by gktozer · · Score: 1 · on How to Deal w/ Dubious 'Contracts'?

    Living in Canada as well, why worry about Telus being the telco provider? You have a few other options here... 1. Rogers http://www.rogers.ca/ 2. Vonage http://www.vonage.ca/ 3. Shaw Digital Phone http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/DigitalP hone/ Good luck.

  3. they have it in Canada by jest3r · · Score: 2, Informative · on Vonage 911 Deadline Passed

    Vonage.ca has 911. You just have to tell them where your primary residence is.

  4. Re:It's good enough for me by tiker · · Score: 1 · on New Study Finds VOIP is Getting Better

    I've just signed up myself for Vonage. The delivery guy with the linksys box was at my house today; but I'm at work.

    I spend at most 15 minutes a month on my home phone line. Paying almost $40 (Canadian) a month for 15 minutes is kinda bad when I can pay $20 from Vonage.

    For the 911 stuff you can read Vonage's explaination at http://vonage.ca/features.php?feature=911

    No they don't! Did you even bother to check before spouting off?

    They don't offer local termination in Canada. Sure I could get an american phone number and call people in Canada, but what good is that?

    So far right now the Canadian competition is:

    Primus TalkBroadband (19.95 for free local calls and 300 minutes to Can and US, 911 available everywhere).

    Yak Communications (1000 mins to can, us, china, hong kong, free local calls, for 19.95 USD + 31 set up fee + 1 year contract! BOOOO!)

    Vonage Communications (500 mins to Can and US, every calling feature they have, but no 911 yet)

    There are also offerings from other companies that don't cover all of Canada yet such as:

    BabyTel

    Sprint Canada

    BabyTel is cheap, Sprint is 19.95 like the rest. Currently I am with Primus because they have both the best price and 911 service, no contract, and you don't have to buy some stupid piece of hardware.

    I look forward to switching to Vonage as soon as they get 911, as their price is better, and all the reviews indicate that their quality of service is top notch.

  6. Vonage in Canada by rkischuk · · Score: 2, Informative · on AOL Canada To Offer VoIP

    Also, for comparison, Vonage Canada is offering 500 minutes to North America for $19.99 and $34.99 unlimited in-province plus 500 long distance minutes. For $5 more, I think a lot of people will be claiming the extra 440 minutes of long distance. Oh, and at $45, Vonage CA is FULL unlimited, not capped at 100 minutes long distance.

  8. Try Vonage by theluckyleper · · Score: 1 · on VoIP Receives Warm Reception From UK Regulators

    Try Vonage. I live in Canada, and I have a Vonage phone for work. Free long distance to anywhere in US and Canada, for cheap. I haven't had any complaints with the service, either. The only times I've had trouble were when my ISP crapped out.
