About the Deal 

For anyone who is looking to try voip or even for those that are living overseas and would like to have access to a voip number in Toronto or Montreal then this deal is for you. According to the website Freephoneline.ca is offering the first 5000 customers that download it’s software free VOIP numbers in Toronto/Montreal for life (the company’s life I’m guessing, not yours). These plans include unlimited local calling as well as free incoming calls.

Impressions 

I’ve been using the software for about 2 days now and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Considering I can spend a few hours while talking on VOIP to catch up with friends and family in Canada I really put this service through it’s paces. The call quality was excellent, but annoyingly you have to dial the country code (1) before making a local call. As of now the service can only be used via a softphone, though some people have been attempting to use the service via an ATA, apparently no luck yet. If using a softphone I’d suggest getting yourself a comfortable pair of USB headsets as you could be chatting away for sometime. USB headsets are better then the regular kind, because you don’t have to go to the back of your computer and unplug your speakers, you can just simply plug them into any USB port on your computer, and start talking away.

Owners 

Freephoneline.ca is owed by the ISP 295.ca, who claim to have been around for nearly 10 years now. Hopefully they are more reliable then the infamous VOIP provider Sunrocket, who earlier this year closed down business because of their rock bottom (and ultimately unsustainable) business model.

    Take a look at the Freephoneline.ca -> as of right now there are still over 1600 Toronto area phone numbers left, and over 500 Montreal numbers.
    First come first serve.

    I signed up for an account and did not download their software. It is possible to get a free account and forward the calls to your cellphone or another number without actually downloading the software.

    I’ve been looking for a company that provides free VOIP numbers in Metro Vancouver area (area codes 604 and 778). Does anybody know of any company that gives free 604 or 778 VOIP phone numbers?

    So far the cheapest way to get a Vancouver number is through vbuzzer
