Due to reasons beyond my control I’m still connected to a land line, which seems to getting more expensive per year. Can anyone comment on what provider gives the best value VOIP home phone

I still use a landline (unlike cellphones) for business calls because they are almost impossible to hack.

Bell uses the internet via Fibe

I used Ooma for a while and it was (at the time) the best deal. You could port your existing phone number over as well. It was a VOIP line and about $3.95 a month.

I had a barebones home phone, Bell. It was $24? $25?/month, all in.
Finally got rid of it after tracking for 3 months, I'd used it 9-10 times total.
No features, rang if someone called in, normal calls out.
I used my cell for long distance, a CiCi card for overseas calls.

That must of been a long time ago. Basic bell home phone is $50/month now. And it keeps going up.

I finally cancelled and got Ooma. Works beautifully. Buy the ooma box for $110 and plug it into a router.

I used Vonage International about 5 years ago when I had to make a lot of international calls and it was good for me. Used it instead of a regular land line and didn't miss it. Funny story - had a Bell land line for 3 years as part of a Fibe package before I cut the cord. I never gave out the number, yet it rang several times a week and never left a voice message. Finally muted the phone and turned off the voice mail. Figured since I never gave out the number, I shouldn't be getting any calls.

Thanks guys, I’ve been looking at Ooma , can’t wait to cancel my $60 Rogers home phone. I recently switched from their crappy internet to Bell fibre, wow what a difference monthly cost was the same

Something to checkout if you decide to go with either Ooma or Magic Jack:

Ooma vs. magicJack 2025

When it comes to residential VoIP service providers, magicJack and Ooma are two of the most popular on the market, in no small part because of their pricing. Each offers phone service without a monthly fee, which is a huge advantage when it comes to marketing. magicJack Go Overview magicJack...

Not sure if it help. But I pay $100 after tax for bell gigabit internet and they gives me free basic tv and landlines. If I remember correctly, they offer free landline with almost all internet. Doesn't hurt to ask
