I would recommend either VoIP.ms (lower latency) or Anveo (IMO more reliable) for both his main 514 number and his toll-free. Pricing is similar. He might want to have one from each, for some redundancy.
Hi Stewart:
Does this mean that VoIP.ms has lower latency but Anveo has better reliability?
Thanks,
Stewart:
VoIP.ms has a server in Montreal, so (for you) latency should be minimized. The closest Anveo server is in Texas. Some folks can't tell the difference, for others it's a big deal.
Edit: As pointed out by Robert, the above is incorrect -- Anveo has a server in Laval, QC. My apology for the gross error.
IMO, Anveo is more reliable. You can find many comments and reviews at http://www.dslreports.com/forum/voip and http://www.dslreports.com/gbu .
Another good choice may be Callcentric. They have servers in New York and are IMO extremely reliable. I didn't mention them at first, because the cost for an 800 number (when caller is in Canada) is quite high, and that was one of your complaints. With the OBi, you might use Callcentric for local incoming and possibly outgoing, with one of the other providers for 800 service.

Didn't Anveo add a Canadian Server some months ago?

Sorry, I completely forgot about that. It's in Laval, QC, so your latency should be minimal.
At this point, I'd be in favor of Anveo, unless perhaps you need a feature that Anveo doesn't offer (unlikely), or is extra cost on Anveo but free on VoIP.ms.

Although there is the promise of managing OBi's through the OBiTALK portal it's a crapshoot whether it'll work or not. For instance: at this moment it only sees one of my OBi's online but can't actually connect to it, the other is online as well but shows as offline. In any case, if you need a reliable way of managing it I suggest the method RonR described. I will be moving that direction soon.
