The Cheapest Toronto Phone Numbers

jjmathon — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 22:00:12 +0200

1. How Cheap a Toronto Phone Number Can Be?

How cheap a Toronto Phone Number can be? As cheap as $25, not per month, but $25 per year. This price is offered by a Toronto VoIP provider Vbuzzer. Until the day I write this blog, I can’t find any service provider, traditional or VoIP, who can beat Vbuzzer’s $25 mark. Here are more details about $25 Toronto phone number http://www.vbuzzer.com/blog/voip-service/toronto-phone-number-25year.html

2. How Reliable of Vbuzzer Toronto Phone Numbers?

Very reliable, as reliable as a traditional Bell phone. In the last three years of using it, it has a couple of downtimes but my office landline phone has more number of downtime. So this VoIP phone number is at least as robust as a pot line, if not better.

3. How to Get it?

Getting it is easy, go to this website http://www.vbuzzer.com download the software in order to register an account, then login your account on the web, make a payment of $25, you can then select the service you want – select the $25 Toronto Phone Number for a year. Bingo, you are done! In a matter of seconds, you will get a Toronto phone number with a 416 area code, and start receiving calls made to this number immediately.

4. How Can I Receive Phone Calls with This Number?

Simple, give this number to your friends or business contact, let them call you. You have 4 ways to receive the calls made to your new Toronto phone number:

#1 You can pick it up from your personal computer, with a set of headset, of course

#2 You can configure and install a VoIP ATA adaptor to receive calls on a hardware phone set.

#3 You can set call forward within your account, to forward calls to your cell phone, your home phone, or your office phone etc.

#4 If your call slip through all the above options, you will receive a voicemail in MP3 format forwarded to your email.

5. How Can I Make Outgoing Phone Calls with This Number?

You can’t, unless you make extra deposit into your account, because this $25/year plan is only for a phone number with unlimited incoming capacity, but without outgoing capacity. If you figure you need to make outgoing calls, you have a few easy options too:

Option One - make $10 online payment and choose pay as you go, Vbuzzer per minute calling rate is pretty low: $0.015 per minute to Canada and US…and low to other countries

Option Two - make $25 online payment and choose a unlimited Toronto plan, in total it will be $50, you get a Toronto phone number with unlimited outgoing calls, to city Toronto, of course. Oh wait a minute, the outgoing areas do cover some GTA areas.

6. What Other Functions Shall I Expect from The Number?

You can get a few very useful functions, for free.

Call Display – Caller ID

Call Forward – Forward calls to your cell, your home phone, office phone etc.

Call Fork – Fork calls to your cell, home, office phones simultaneously

Voicemail to email in mp3 format

7. Can I Use a Linksys VoIP Adaptor to Couple with The Number?

Yes you can, you can refer this configuration guide:

Canada Calling Card

jjmathon — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 19:00:08 +0200

Calling card has been a long standing business in Canada, since the deregulation in the long distance market in 1980s. Coupled with flux of immigrants and boom of internet, Canada phone card business has undergone a curve of early adoption (1990s), mass reception (2000-2002), and recession (2003-). I use the word “recession” as the calling cards as a whole are facing strong competition from alternative products like Vonage, Skype, who developed millions of customers from 2003.

My view of the calling card business is pessimistic, although they are still widely popular among many ethnic users, they are facing some serious problems, unless these problems are being addressed and solved, they will continue to lose market share week after week, month after month, and year after year.

Problem 1 – Distribution Channel verus Direct Sales

Before the cards can be sold to consumers, they first need to be physically produced in plastic cards, then shipped to all the retail stores, then sold to buyers in cash. In the internet era, all the distribution networks can be avoided, a service provider can simply sell calling cards on the web – because the critical part of a card is the PIN – and the PIN is just a series of numbers that you can deliver to emails or SMS electronically. Actually, in Canada there are some electronic calling cards (http://www.vbuzzer.com/calling_card.php ) like Vbuzzer. Compared to the web to consumer business model, traditional calling card will have a hard time to compete as their networks are indirect and more expensive – which means they can’t compete in price.

Problem 2 – Hidden Fees

Every time you look at a calling card poster, you are gonna learn a few more tricks how to apply hidden charges – connection fees, no connections fees but administrative fees, higher price after 3 minutes, per minute billing, or very early expiry days etc. They reflect the harsh business environment of the whole industry, if they sell in straight terms, they will look very expensive, which means nobody will buy the cards, so they have to cheat…

In contrast, in the direct selling mode, for example, web to consumers, cheating is not popular, the vendors avoided a lot of expenses in the distribution channel so they still do fair business.

Problem 3 – Inconvenience of use

Of course, when you need to dial a 10-digit access number, then a 9-digit PIN, then another 10-digit or 13-digit international phone number, the whole process isn’t very pleasant, right? Not to mention that you have no call history that you can check up, no bills to show your usage, etc. It is okay when you don’t have other alternatives to save money, but for many people it becomes increasingly bothersome to use the product.

Problem 4 – Competition

This is big, and real. Whenever I open a web page I can see Vonage ads, Skype ads, or somebody else’s ads. A lot money has been thrown into the internet phone business, or pc to phone business, and the money has helped developing millions of customers, this means calling cards have lost a few million customers in the last few years. I try not to be too pessimistic, but I can’t paint a brighter future for the industry when it faces such strong competitors.

Maybe I’m biased, or maybe I’m simply not possessing the knowledge the industry players are possessing, nonetheless, I can’t see any light in the tunnel for the calling card business in Canada.

Here is a video to explain Canada Internet Phone.

Vbuzzer Canada Internet Phone Service

jjmathon — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 21:27:32 +0200

Canada’s internet phone landscape has been changing fast, many services were launched back in 2005 & 2006, some are still doing well now, more disappeared from our sight. There is one Canadian internet phone service provider (http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/canadainternetphone.php) that I tracked and liked from the beginning throughout today, this provider is Vbuzzer. In my opinion, Vbuzzer offers the best quality, the most reliable service, at very low price, if not the lowest in Canada. While using vbuzzer for 3 years, I witnessed its constant improvement of the product, the website, the functionality, and design.

1. The software – Vbuzzer Messenger

Vbuzzer Messenger is a similar concept of instant messaging with pc to phone functionality. At its launch, Vbuzzer is just another soft phone that offer cheap but often cracked phone calls, since then it slowly but steadily evolve into an excellent IM.

- It offers all in one instant messaging with MSN, Yahoo, AIM and ICQ Instant Messenger

- It offers VoIP pc to phone, and phone to pc calling capability

- It offers internet fax over the very same Instant Messenger

- It offers RSS feeds syndications on the IM

- Its user interface is neat

2. The website

Vbuzzer website has undergone major upgrades every 6 months, if not 3 months, I don’t have a close track on their site, but every once in a while, I can see that they added a couple of features here and there, like call forward, call fork, etc.

3. The functionality

It is clear that Vbuzzer team is very busy, and they produce result – you can see a bunch of products listed on the website, from Vbuzzer Messenger, to mobile VoIP, to mobile phone call back, to Asterisk configuration, to VoIP ATA box configuration, to video conferencing, web conferencing, to video mail, to internet fax. In the last few years Vbuzzer has made itself a full blown communication service provider.

4. User Interface

The user interface of both website and vbuzzer messenger have improved every few months, the design is getting neater, cleaner, and friendlier. Recently I found they also upgraded their account management interface, which looks much better than the old version UI.

I have a Vbuzzer Toronto phone number with unlimited Toronto calling plan, I use it with a Linksys RT31P2-NA router ( a Linksys router with VoIP ports integrated). I always have dial tones in the line and never had any problem calling in & out, and the quality is the same as my previous Bell line, literally, no difference in voice quality!

Calling other cities of Canada is pretty cheap, 1.5 cent per minute, well, 1.7 cent after tax, but still, it is cheaper than most of the service providers I know. With that calling quality I get, 1.7 cent is like a breeze, and $10 or $20 deposit does go a long way with Vbuzzer, literally months.

Recently I start to use Vbuzzer as the only IM running on my desktop, after running MSN, Yahoo, and Skype on one computer, I start to look for an all in one alternative, and I’m glad that Vbuzzer provide this unified messaging feature. The experience is so far so good, I never missed any IM from my buddies at MSN and Yahoo. After running all of them altogether, I decided to shut down MSN, and Yahoo, and leave Vbuzzer only on my desktop.

So in my view, Vbuzzer is a superstar in the drama of Canada’s internet phone revolution. Any Canadian that is looking for quality internet phone service should take a serious look at vbuzzer (http://www.vbuzzer.com)

Vbuzzer Enables Unlimited Toronto Cell P...

jjmathon — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 22:57:23 +0200

Now you can make unlimited mobile phone calls within Greater Toronto Area.

http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/torontocellphone.php

Introduction

At an extra $20 per month, Vbuzzer call back service allow you to make unlimited “outgoing” calls within Greater Toronto Area, as long as you have an unlimited incoming plan to bundle with it. This means you can have a unlimited Toronto city calling plan at a total of $45/month (the unlimited incoming plan will typically cost you $25).

Toronto cell phone users have to, as their fellow Canadians, pay higher fees for cellular phone calls, there is no unlimited city calling plan being offered, and even an unlimited incoming plan can easily cost them $35/month. Compared to the $99/month unlimited domestic calls that US consumers can get, Canadian mobile phone plans are pathetic. But things have changed recently, a cell phone call back service offered by Vbuzzer (http://www.vbuzzer.com/ld/torontocellphone.php ) offers great value for heavy mobile phone users in Greater Toronto Area.

Price of Unlimited Mobile Calls

Now with Vbuzzer Cell Phone Call Back Service, you can make unlimited mobile phone calls at a total cost of $45/month - $20 for Vbuzzer Callback and $25 for unlimited incoming plan from your cellular carrier. The service is pretty easy to use too: it requires you to dial a local 416 access number from your cell phone, then hang up when you hear a busy tone, the system will instantly call you back and prompt you to enter your destination number. Once you enter it, the system will connect the call for you. This way, technically both you and the person you called are receiving calls from Vbuzzer Call Back System.

Local Calling Area

From my experience the “local area” is the same as Bell Canada’s Toronto Local Areas – all 416, 647 area codes are covered, many 905 areas are included too, some are not covered, these are typically distance 905 regions like York Regions (Aurora, New Market, etc.) Durham region (Whiteby etc.)

Other Calling Areas

The $20/month allows me to call Montreal and Ottawa for free! It is really sweet, although they didn’t make it official but they didn’t block or charge such long distance calls.

The Chip

For some GSM phones, there are very thin chips that can be embedded into the SIM card seal, the chips function to automate the process, so you just enter the destination number and press “call” button, the chips work behind the scene to complete the call back process for you, you will be automatically called back and get calls connected.

It offers great convenience, I bought a chip from Vbuzzer for a one-time $25, and I love to use the call back since then, as it is super easy and effortless.

Service Quality

The service is very stable. I use it for 3 months and made a lot of phone calls, saving a lot of money, and never had a single downtime.

Here is a video to explain how the cell phone callback works.
