Free VOIP Calls to Canada

ever wanted to call Canada for free but can't use icall or mediaringtalk or earthcaller? Then here is another solution to make free calls to canada.

Thanks to our Canadian visitors who shared this with us. Free Phone Line, a canada based VOIP provider is offering free calls across canada with a free incoming canadian number of your choice in 2 states.

In order to be eligible for this offer, you need to be in Canada. Oh don't get too worried yet, VOIP Guide is here for a rescue. Do they check if you are in canada? Yes, by looking at the state and ZIP Code. Just google any address in Toronto and register the number in your name. Of course change the address a bit so you don't bother someone else in future :-)

Lets see what FreePhoneline.ca offers their customers:

1) A FREE local phone number !: if you live in the 416, 647 and most 905 area codes you can receive phone calls on your new FREEPHONELNE personal phone number. (Many new area codes will be added in 4th quarter ’07). You will get a softphone from them. You can download the softphone. This seems like a geographic number so you would be able to receive calls from normal PSTN or mobile phones.

2)Unlimited Free Local calling ! which includes Unlimited FREE Canada wide long distance calling to these major cities : Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, London, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Ottawa, Quebec City, and Halifax, and, all the towns that are a local call to these cities!

3) Caller ID - The incoming caller’s phone number is displayed on the freephoneline softphone.

4) Full Enhanced Voicemail Service that is accessible from your phone no charge!
Voicemail to Email a copy of the voicemail is emailed to your private email account automatically , no charge !
5)Follow me service with enhanced unified messaging feature. When not at home, or if you use the PC phone and it is offline, you can set a number to call forward your local number.. You can also set the number of rings you would like the call forwarded for [example 3 rings to my cell phone] then if you are unavailable or you choose not to answer the call, freephoneline.ca voicemail will play your recorded greeting taking a message. This means you no longer need voicemail on your cell phone or other home phone lines, freephoneline.ca can be your central messaging service. This is very interesting, but I wonder if this can forwarded to international numbers :-) I couldn't test it today but if someone can test this out, please report your findings.

Overall seems like a good alternative way to reach your buddies in Canada and save on long distance and most importantly able to receive calls from everyone else in the world on your own canadian numbers.

I only wish they had SIP settings enabled on this service. That would be nice to flaunt my Canadian number on business card as I access the service on my Nokia N95 on Fring SIP settings.
