What is a cheaper residential VoIP phone line?
A residential VoIP phone line (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a phone service that uses your Internet connection to carry your calls instead of the traditional copper telephone network. This technology makes it possible to offer much cheaper home phone plans while delivering superior (HD) audio quality and advanced features included for free.
In Canada, big providers like Bell and Vidéotron charge between $52 and $75 per month for a basic residential line, not counting paid options like caller ID or voicemail at Bell. With our affordable residential VoIP phone service, you get all these features for a fraction of the price — starting at just $6.99 USD/month.
Residential VoIP is ideal for Canadian families, seniors who want to keep their landline at a low price, and anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to Bell, Rogers or Vidéotron without sacrificing quality or reliability.
What is an Internet phone line?
An Internet phone line (also called VoIP) works through your Internet connection rather than the traditional copper network. Your calls travel as digital data: you keep a local number, HD audio quality and advanced features, all at a cost significantly lower than a classic phone line from Bell, Rogers or Vidéotron.
In practice, an Internet phone line is set up in minutes — a preconfigured Wi-Fi phone or an ATA adapter for your existing device. Caller ID and voicemail are included, with no contract.

Why are our prices in US dollars (USD)?
Our calls travel primarily over interconnections located in the United States, where network capacity is more plentiful, better redundant and considerably cheaper than in Canada. That is exactly what lets us offer a reliable line at this price.
Since our costs are in USD, we bill in the same currency instead of adding a currency-conversion margin to your invoice. It is one of the reasons our residential rates have not changed in 10 years.
For reference only, $6.99 USD is roughly $9.40 to $9.95 CAD depending on the exchange rate at the time of billing.

Start saving now with VoIPWhy leave Bell, Rogers or Vidéotron for VoIP?
Thousands of Canadians have already made the switch to a cheaper residential phone line. Here's why.
Save 40 to 60% on your bill
Bell's basic Home phone Lite plan costs $60.49/month, without caller ID or voicemail. With our residential VoIP service, you pay from just $6.99 USD/month with all features included. That's savings of at least $560 per year.
No contract, no surprises
Bell charges a $49.95 activation fee and warns that its price “is subject to increase during your subscription”; Vidéotron charges $99 for installation and reserves the right to change its rates without notice. Our service is contract-free and our residential rates have not moved in 10 years: you're free to leave whenever you want, with no penalty.
More features included
At Bell, getting caller ID and voicemail means moving from the Lite plan to the Choice plan, $15/month more ($60.49 → $75.49). With us, everything is included: caller ID, voicemail with email notification, call transfer, call blocking.
No-appointment installation
With Bell, you have to wait for a technician, take time off work and pay installation fees. Our equipment arrives already configured: plug it in yourself in 5 minutes and it's ready.
Keep your existing number
You can keep your current phone number through number porting ($15 — one-time fee). Your contacts won't need to update their address books.
Human support, no endless phone menus
No more 45-minute waits with looping hold music. Our technical support is quick to reach, offered in native English, and our technicians are trained to solve your problems.

Contact our teamA VoIP competitor vs us: why do we cost more?
A certain VoIP competitor offers a home phone at about $4.95/month. We're honest: our cheapest plan starts at $6.99 USD/month. Here's why that difference exists — and what you get in return.
📞 A low-cost competitor
A certain VoIP competitor is known for its very low rates. Their home phone service costs about $4.95/month with an adapter to purchase (one-time fee). They offer free calls to many Canadian cities and a volume-driven business model.
Many of our customers come from that company because their line kept cutting out — dropped calls mid-conversation, inconsistent quality, hard-to-reach support. Our goal here is to explain where the price difference goes and what you're paying extra for with us.
What you pay extra for: quality, reliability and support
HD audio quality and dedicated infrastructure
We use professional VoIP infrastructure with HD codecs (G.722, Opus) for crystal-clear calls. Our network is optimized for residential telephony, not shared with mobile apps or mass-market consumer services. The result: less latency, fewer dropouts, a "true landline" experience.
Reliability and 99.99% uptime
Our platform is built for maximum availability. We invest in redundant servers, 24/7 monitoring and failover procedures. For an emergency line, for seniors or for working from home, reliability has a price — and we make it a priority.
Human support in native English, no endless menus
You talk to a real technician, based in Quebec. No outsourced call centre, no endless waiting. Our customers often choose us for exactly that: when something doesn't work, someone answers and fixes the problem.
Preconfigured professional hardware
We provide Grandstream hardware (Wi-Fi phone or ATA adapter) already configured for your line. No manual setup, no compatibility worries. The handset arrives ready to plug in — professional quality, not cheap consumer-grade hardware.
In short
That competitor may be right for you if budget trumps everything. We position ourselves as a premium alternative: a few dollars more per month for superior audio quality, proven reliability (no constant dropouts), responsive human support and professional hardware. If you want a line that sounds like a true landline, with no compromises, we're the right fit for you.
