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)

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: http://www.vbuzzer.com/blog/linksys-pap2-configuration-guide Here is a video to explain Toronto Phone Number. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEiryAdSm2E For additional information, please visit Vbuzzer blog about Toronto Phone Number. http://www.vbuzzer.com/blog/voip-service/toronto-phone-number-25year.html Other related information about Toronto Phone Number Contents http://www.squidoo.com/Toronto_Phone_Number_at_Low_Cost http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Cheapest-Toronto-Phone-Numbers http://johnmathon.tripod.com/Toronto-phone-review/ http://www.geocities.com/torontophonereview/Toronto_Phone_Number.html http://ca.blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-cTrLQ3kldLS4YOYd9AAsLzq9ROcP0gEeNxU-?cq=1 http://jjmathon.livejournal.com/1911.html http://livetoronto.blog.com/4026797/ http://jjmathon.blogr.com/stories/8204977/ http://jjmathon.bravejournal.com/ http://clearblogs.com/torontojournal/152797/The+Cheapest+Toronto+Phone+Numbers.html http://www.etribes.com/node/mine/179639 http://jjmathon.multiply.com/journal/item/7/The_Cheapest_Toronto_Phone_Numbers_ http://torontojournal.netcipia.net/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/TheCheapestTorontoPhoneNumbers http://toronto.shoutpost.com/34447/the-cheapest-toronto-phone-numbers http://www.soulcast.com/post/show/160224/The-Cheapest-Toronto-Phone-Numbers http://toronto.terapad.com/index.cfm?fa=contentGeneric.fnybiubbrwogcncr&pageId=261808 http://torontojournal.tumblr.com/post/55070760/the-cheapest-toronto-phone-numbers http://torontophone.weebly.com/5/post/2008/10/the-cheapest-toronto-phone-numbers.html http://john862.vox.com/library/post/the-cheapest-toronto-phone-numbers.html http://weblog.xanga.com/jjmathon/678722133/the-cheapest-toronto-phone-numbers.html http://torontojournal.zoomshare.com/2.shtml Videos about Toronto Phone Number http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEiryAdSm2E http://www.dailymotion.com/stoneellis2029/video/x732nt_toronto-phone-number-at-low-cost_tech http://s37.photobucket.com/albums/e51/stoneellis2029/?action=view¤t=55d61c2d.pbr http://www.jumpcut.com/view?id=820FA15A9AF311DD833D000423CF0184 http://media.putfile.com/Toronto-Phone-Number-at-Low-Cost http://sclipo.com/video/toronto-phone-number-at-low-cost http://en.sevenload.com/videos/v3F01YR-Toronto-Phone-Number-at-Low-Cost http://share.ovi.com/media/stoneellis2029.Torontophonenum/stoneellis2029.10010 http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/stoneellis2029/videos.rss http://origin.www.spike.com/video/toronto-phone-number/3048647 http://www.vidilife.com/index.cfm?f=media.play&vchrMediaProgramIDCryp=6E92AC85-F7AF-48B6-A84D-7 http://www.dropshots.com/stoneellis2029#date/2008-10-10/11:38:05 http://www.grindtv.com/video/more/toronto_phone_number_at_low_cost/?user=444299 http://www.livevideo.com/video/6831CB8DE9244809B842ACF23280EFCA/toronto-phone-number-at-low-co.aspx http://www.motionbox.com/videos/a791dbbc1c1de22e http://www.stickam.com/viewMedia.do?mId=181340881 http://www.veoh.com/videos/v16257268FCcfBBsG http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3724545/10237255 http://vimeo.com/1986075 http://www.esnips.com/doc/1081d8a3-a12d-4f0d-b2c2-467aedb06714/toronto-phone-number RSS Feeds http://www.squidoo.com/xml/syndicate_lens/Toronto_Phone_Number_at_Low_Cost http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Cheapest-Toronto-Phone-Numbers?rss http://johnmathon.tripod.com/Toronto-phone-review/rss.xml http://ca.blog.360.yahoo.com/rss-cTrLQ3kldLS4YOYd9AAsLzq9ROcP0gEeNxU-?cq=1 http://jjmathon.livejournal.com/data/rss http://livetoronto.blog.com/atom/ http://jjmathon.blogr.com/stories/rss20.xml http://jjmathon.bravejournal.com/feed.rss http://jjmathon.multiply.com/feed.rss http://torontojournal.netcipia.net/xwiki/bin/view/Main/BlogRss?xpage=rdf http://torontojournal.tumblr.com/rss http://torontophone.weebly.com/5/feed http://john862.vox.com/library/posts/rss.xml http://www.xanga.com/jjmathon/rss http://torontojournal.zoomshare.com/rss.xml
