VoIP SaveS BELL CANADA PHONE BILL

The word ‘VoIP‘ frightened the hell out of me – it sounded just too damn ‘technical’ for a person like me. I was wrong, and my fear was costing me BIG money!
How does saving around $900.00 per year sound to you?

My Bell Canada home phone bill was $93.04 per month. Now, my monthly phone bill is about $11.50 CDN (less than just the taxes of my Bell bill) because I use AcroVoices ‘Just-a-Phone’ plan.
A saving of  $978.48 per year!

With google voice can you call for free in US and Canada?

Google Voice closed the 403 CANADA loophole

I see that Google Voice will no longer allow call forwarding to the 403 area code (my Freephoneline number). I got a notice last month that I would have to re-verify the number by May 15, and Google won't let me do it, reports it as an out-of-country number. The existing forwarding still works, but only for another week.

Google Voice Canada FREE Outgoing/Incoming

Google voice in Canada is possible. If you are wondering how to get the service in Canada, AND how to make Free unlimited outgoing and incoming calls from Google voice. Then, look no further! I have been holding off on this article because I wanted to try a couple of methods first and see which one is the fastest one… and make sure that you don’t get any extra carrier charges. The way I explain it is the simplest way so far, and has been followed successfully by many  (see comments below) if you have other ideas or are having trouble using Google Voice in Canada, then please post a comment.

Important: Google Voice is not “officially” available in Canada. This shows you how to register and use a Google Voice number by using a “glitch” in Google Voice service by signing up with a free 403(alberta) number. This will Enable you to make unlimited calls to US and Canada for FREE when you use the mobile site from your cell phone, or Google voice App to initiate calls. This means, you should have an unlimited incoming plan to take FULL advantage of this. Please re-read that and understand it to avoid any long-distance charges. Read comments below, or ask if you are not sure. Now, let’s dig into the fun part!

First Step: Log in with your Google account, there is no need for an invite.
First time you try to login to Google voice in Canada, there will be an error message saying that it’s not available in your country. To bypass that you will need to install hotspotshield so you can get a US IP address (Don’t worry, it’s free and you can uninstall the program later.) Please check that you have a US IP by clicking here. Great now you are able to log in!
Second step: Get a free 403 number
Head over to freephoneline; they will be able to provide you a free Alberta number. Google Voice allows for Alberta numbers is some kind of glitch. The set up is pretty straight forward on Free Phone line, but here is a Quick Guide: Once you set up the account, log in to your account and go to the forward tab. From there choose Follow me and forward to a Canadian Cell or home number (Your personal number where you want it to ring). Also remember to download their program for authentication purposes of Free Phone Line and Google Voice. Again, you can uninstall the program later.
Third step: Google voice setup
