recommendations for Canada | cheap international calling

inquisitor · 25-08-2009, 16:33

Unfortunately they have only numbers in Alberta (4037756654), British Columbia (6044841960), Manitoba (2044809844), Ontario (6134820907) et au Québec (5149073186).
Are all the advertised prepaid rates only valid for local calls in Canada?

I was able to reach this number using a SpeakOut (Rogers MVNO) SIM.

Yes. Ottawa is long distance from Toronto so the per minute charge will be higher.

I don't think long distance is included with any of the current canadian prepaid offers.

As for calls to Betamax gateways, I was able to call the JustVoIP Toronto access number from both Fido and SpeakOut phones.

Not yet. I'm hopeful Wind changes that, and that competitive pressures force that to become the new norm.

I have my doubts Fido/Rogers will ever smarten up. In the mean time they're reducing the local calling areas: http://fido.ca/web/content/ld/local_calling_areas
