Canadian options (BC specifically)?

Question

Hi,I have some questions:1. Can I sign up with Broadvox even thought I'm in Canada?2. If I choose a 250 number, can I call the Okanagan as a local callor is Victoria 250 only considered "local"?3. A guess if number xferring will be available in the near future uphere?4. Does any one provider stand out over the others (Comwave, Broadvox...)5. Does a 604 # allow me to call Abbotsford/Mission...toll free?6. My situation is that I  pay $40 Cdn/month to Telus for myresidential line & I hardly make any LD calls.  I can't stand that Ipay so much for a basic line and I like the idea of telling Telus tostuff their service.

Why couldn't you?Awhile ago I found a notice about Canadian usage at one of the VoIPproviders I found in this list.	'm not finding it now but it was something to the effect of "Don't useour service for calling Canada from Canada because there's a specialtax that's supposed to be paid for that.  But we can't tell if you doit."LiveVoIP has a physical presence in Canada.--kyler

ok I am a fellow canadian not from BC but in a major city in ontario...

and well broadvoice did call me back after a few emails and finnaly spent the LD to call them .

You can use them thats no big issue they are cool with that. Heck they are even asterisk friendly. the unlimited part is what they say exactly. heck they are a hell of a company they got kick ass reviews from where ever I look. but there are catches

One you can't dial any toll free numbers on there services. not canadian not american nothing. you have to have a american creidit card from a american bank. they say must be issued by a american bank finnaly you can not get a DID in canada they do not offer one. I am trying as much as I can to find a unlimited (simular service they offer anyware I can. soon as I find one I will post it.
