freephonelinecanada questions
Posted: 08/18/2012
Hi,
I'm interested in getting this service but the website doesn't have much information (or I couldn't find them).
It suggested to ask specific questions here, so here I am.
Thank you in advance.
(The service is freephonelinecanada)
(1)keep your phone number-1
Does it apply anywhere in Canada?
I live in Toronto so should be no problem but my friend is also interested and she lives in a rural area in Newfoundland.
(2)Keep your phone number-2
I tried to get a phone service from my internet provider and somehow they said they couldn't for some reason.
(I don't remember why.). Is there any exceptions you can't carry the current number?
(3)getting a new number
If I want to get a new phone number, can I get a local number?
(4)Call forwarding
Does it come with call forwarding and is it free?
Is setting-up easy?
(5)How much to make calls to other than listed major cities?
It says free to make call to any major cities in Canada listed.
So how about calling to other cities in Canada which are not listed?
How about local calls if your home is not in the listed area?
(6)Cell phone app?
I heard I can use it on smartphones too...so does that mean if someone calls, then both homephone and your phone can ring at the same time?
(7)softphone
I have been using skype - is the voice quality somewhere similar to it?
Is "homephone" quality better than softphone because no other software is working background?
If anyone can answer any of those questions it would be appreciated.
Thank you!
