make my automatically cell call using voip

make my automatically cell call using voip

I have a cell phone plan that includes 9 hours of national calls, however, international calls are billed at extreme minute-rates. For this reason I use VOIP/SIP for international calls thorugh the built-in SIP option (dialer > menu > settings > call settings > accounts).

The built-in dialer have 3 options to choose betweeen, and none of them are what I am looking for - Use Internet calling: 1) for all calls when data network is available 2) only for internet calls 3) ask for each call

It would be so simple to have the dialer check the number called, and if it's an international number (i.e. it starts by +) then use VOIP, otherwise use standard cell calls.

Unless I am blind I don't suppose there are any way of doing this with the built-in dialer. I frankly don't understand why not, I would have thought this is a fairly common situation in this day and age.

Is there another dialer that could do this?

I know I could have two dialers, but it annoys me that something as simple and obvious can't be done automatically.

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?

When in US, google voice allows free calling to canadian landline and cell phone?

Is that right, no fees at all?

So if you have a data plan in US you dont really need international calling plan to call canada?

Does the google voice app drains a lot of battery?

Google Voice Canada loophole and Google Hangouts Dialer

Google Voice has been available for several years, but it's U.S.-only. It gives you a free U.S. phone number that can forward calls for free to any other U.S. number, and includes SMS, voicemail and optional automatic voicemail-to-text-email transcription. You can pay for international long distance, but GV itself is free and always has been. You can sign up for GV using any existing Google account and a VPN. Just go to https://voice.google.com. But there's a catch: GV has no web phone app, it must link to an existing valid phone number, and that phone must be a U.S. number. Google makes a verification call to that number and you must answer and enter the 2-digit verification code they give you online. They will not accept a non-U.S. phone number, and you cannot create the GV account in the first place without an initial U.S. home number. You can use a VoIP account with a U.S. phone number, but a loophole that existed early on was that Google accepted 403 as a U.S. area code.

Set up Google Voice in Canada

Google Voice Overview

Google Voice is one of the greatest innovations in telephony. I am a huge fan of it and I have used it to pretty much nullify my phone bills, or at least drastically reduce them. Google Voice fixes many of the annoyances that people have with telephones now, as well as helps to use current communication technology to connect us at a very low price.

Some of the things I hate doing is checking my voicemail through the phone system and monitoring how many text messages or daytime minutes I have left. I particularly hate not knowing if a call is going to cost me long distance charges or not. I’ll show you how to use some of Google Voice’s features to reduce your telephone costs in Canada and in the US including getting free long distance in Canada (even from your cell phone) and getting a telephone line at home through VOIP (data).
This post will be about how to set up your Google Voice account, even when you are not in the US.

Some of my favorite features of Google Voice are:

    Free Long Distance calling
between US and Canada
    Unlimited text messaging
    Transcribed voicemail

You can check out all the great features of Google Voice here.

Google Voice is a service that has been designed for people in the US to have cheaper telephony. As a result, it is not “supported” for use in Canada and there are some extra steps required to set it up when you are outside the US.

The steps are as follows:

    Ensure you have a US phone number
    Ensure you have a US IP address
    Set up a Google Voice account at voice.google.com

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.
