What VOIP service do you have?

How much are you paying per month?
I'm leaning towards Primus VOIP.

vonage 19.99+tax

vonage unlimited with multiple city virtual numbers.
$39/m + $8 for each virtual number.

How's CIA? https://www.cia.com/index.do
Home phone + DSL(up to 7mbps) for 40 bucks a month is a crazy deal.

I'm using Primus and it's looking good so far.

voip.net (now broadvox.com), US$20/mo

[trixstar]

Acanac $9.95 including taxes + free long distance in Canada + USA.

service has been great since day 1

So lets say if I sign up with a VOIP service, and ask them to transfer my number from Bell, will both my landline and voip phones ring until I cancel Bell's landline service or how does it work?

Vonage Basic Plan.

Transferring my number to Netfone ($13 - free calls to %90 of Canada excl. rural areas)

Not necessarily...

If you tell the VOIP provider that you want to transfer your # from Bell, then they will give you a temp number that you can only call OUT on. Once your Bell line is transferred over then the Bell line is disconnected on Bell's end as Bell doesn't own the # any more, and then you should be able to receive and send out calls through VOIP.

Got it. Thanks.
