Cell phone to ATA calls to U.S.

Post by ger482 »

is it possible to use a cell phone in T.O.and make calls through an ata or other method cheaply? I will have to make calls to Virginia several times a day in the near future and will receive 15 or more from the same place and I’m looking for a cheap way to do this (i.e. cell plan or other)....any ideas are very welcome..thanks

Skype2go is probably the neatest way to do it. It works like this. You register your phone number with Skype2go, you can register up to 5 of them. You can then set up the long distance numbers. Each long distance number is given it's own local Canadian phone number. So when you dial that local phone number, it will directly call your long distance number you mapped.

Only down side is you can only map 9 skype2go numbers at a time. But you can edit them at a whim, so it is only a minor issue. Probably not that good if you call a lot of long distance numbers though.

Not bad for $27 a year. You can use the softphone also at that price. I wish freephoneline offered something similar.
