I am kicking myself for not doing it.Īlso, as of right now, GV is no longer accepting Canadian numbers, even 403 numbers, as new forwarding numbers. I do know someone that took advantage while it was open though. I had my pick of many numbers but didn't have time to go through until I found one I liked so I let it sit for a few days. I've been using google voice as you describe for over 2 years, I am very familiar.Ī couple months ago it was found that under the setting to get a new number you could obtain a GV Canadian number for a $10 fee (same fee to change to another US number). But as I said, linking no longer works to Canadian numbers. To link to Canadian number, you need to have US phone number. Then you can get Google Voice phone number. You can still create Google Voice account using hotshotshield US IP. Also, about 6 weeks ago, you could link to your canadian cell numbers for few days, then it stopped.

What was so good about it was, for past few years, you can link to a Calgary area code phone numbers. Peteryorkuca wrote: ↑They never had any Canadian GV numbers. The upside to this is when they're away from the hotspot they have peace of mind and can focus better on their work because they won't have silly Facebook and Twitter notifications. Its just a matter of time before more and more people use hotspots for communication and then they won't even need their cell phone contract. That's the one area cell phones have over landlines and maybe the cell phone companies are trying to keep it that way.

You can always use Gmail for free outgoing calling anywhere in North America but you can also do that with lots of others as well.ĭoes anybody know if any of these virtual numbers can also receive text messages from cell phones? That would be great. The challenge for some of us is getting a local number if you're not in one of the biggest cities. Redflagguy2u wrote: ↑What's so special about Google Voice? Don't other phone companies also give away virtual, forwardable numbers? Freephoneline, Fongo, DellVoice, Voxox and surely there are several more. Of course right now Skype and other IM's are the gateway. Its a lot cheaper putting in a gateway for an entire city to use then getting hundreds of thousands of different numbers for them to use. You dial a local gateway number, then input the number of the person you want to reach. But there's another solution to that: Global area code. Getting that local number so people don't have to dial a long distance number is the challenge. More and more people are getting long distance included in their phone packages now.
That means you can use multiple outgoing lines and all incoming calls are trunked in on one number. So you can disply your incoming number when using Voxox. Voxox has a brilliant feature that lets you change your outgoing caller ID number. Ideally you want your outgoing line to be able to be independent from your incoming line so you don't have to monitor the line for call waiting beeps which are easily missed. Its very important to divide your tasks to either one or the other.
Remember that phones features are either incoming or outgoing. If you live in a small space just use your computer to answer the calls. And use an ATA (analogue telephone adapter) for your phones.
The downside is you have to wire your home from your computer.
VOXOX WIKI UPDATE
There may be other companies, and if so, could people update this info? This overcomes so many issues. gives you a virtual number that forwards to your Skype account.
You'll hopefully get a Canadian number though if you're not in a major urban area it might not be local.Īnother option that few people consider is using Skype to receive your calls. Focus on companies like Freephoneline, Voxox and others that give you a virtual number that you can forward anywhere. Its clear they don't want Canadians to have the same access as Americans.
