A good, reliable VOIP provider in Alberta, Canada?

Question

We are so fed-up with Telus that we look into a new phone provider. Unfortunately neither Shaw nor Rogers home phone are available in our rural area...yet!

Who would recommend a good VOIP provider. We do not care about pricing but rather features and especially sound and call quality!! We'd like to use a provider where the calling experience is similar to a landline/ digital phone, with the least external noise and dropped calls or echo.

Again, we don't care about the cheapest deal but the most reliable one.

Who has experience with the Rogers Internet Phone Service??

Thanks!

Answer 1

I know of an excellent Voip service provider in Canada, if you go to this web site www.iolair.acnrep.com and on the opening page click on the SELECT YOUR COUNTRY button , then click on the Canadian flag, you will find all the details on the service under products.

I am based in the UK and we do not have this service yet, however I do know that the company has its own network and is the world leader in Voip communications. They offer free calling over Canada, USA, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

The company not only has its normal voip service but the network bandwidth is such that it supports video phones as well. I have seen the quality of this service and friends in N. America who use the service say it is fantastic.

I hope this helps.

Try VoipRaider.com, Nonoh.net instead.

Best of the lot!

Answer 3

I have used Primus and Webcall in the past and was very happy with their sound quality and service.

I would prefer Primus over Webcall.

Webcall is owned by Sasktel - Saskatchewan telephones.

PS. I used Primus in Edmonton and Webcall in Drayton Valley.

Answer 5

I have not used Rogers myself.

But, there may be other options to consider.

I pulled the plug on Telus over six months ago because I was fed up with being tied into their long-term contracts.  So I switched to Shaw high-speed Internet and subscribed to InPhonex and Callcentric VoIP services as my phone calling replacement services.

Through my research, I was not able to find a good, low cost,  Canadian based VoIP service.  My focus was to not only find good, but low-cost.  In the end, I settled for InPhonex and CallCentric - both USA based VoIP services (see links through my profile).

I use InPhonex as my primary VoIP home phone service because they offer phone numbers for area 403 and E911 in Canada.  I use their LiteLine service for only $7.95/month + 2.5 cents/min for all outgoing calls, including anywhere in USA/Canada/Europe.  They also have Unlimited calling service for only $24.95/month.  I am satisfied with the call quality.  You can buy your VoIP ATA adapter from them.  I purchased my Linksys PAP2T ATA from VoIP Depot in Canada and configured it myself for InPhonex on Line-1 and then CallCentric on line-2.  So, I have two voip services subscribed through the one adapter.

I use CallCentric as my secondary VoIP phone line and number.  It is secondary for me because they do not offer 911 service for Canada.  But, their calling rates are cheaper than InPhonex.  Call anywhere in USA/Canada for 1.9 cents/min.  My CallCentric phone number only costs $1.95/month + 1.5 cent/min for incoming calls + 1.9 cent/min for outgoing calls...anywhere in USA/Canada.  CallCentric does not sell VoIP adapters.  They are only BYOD (bring your own device).  However if you don't feel comfortable configuring your own VoIP adapter, InPhonex may be a better solution.

InPhonex and CallCentric are both only pay-as-you-go services.  That means... No Contracts and no hidden fees.  Pay only month-by-month... quit anytime if not satisfied. (see link through my profile)

I tested them before I pulled the plug on Telus.  So, I already felt comfortable with their service before I decided to rely solely on VoIP vs. PSTN phone.
