I have no idea of the Canadian rules for GV, sorry. I suggest you utilize the GV forums.

One other quick question...Do you know if calls WITHIN Canada alone are free? - with GV
I only need calling within Ontario really, and never make or receive calls elsewhere.
Would there be a difference compared to what is currently free for Canada "and the US"??
I am in Ontario too and can confirm NORTH AMERICA calls are free - Canada included. Used GV quite a lot while setting up Obi and my cell - and I have zero dollars in my GV account.
If you only need Canada LD, you can always look into Fongo as they have a better Android app. No free calls to US tho' - so I don't bother. Vonage for Android is also free for now (whole NA).
I listed all as I don't know if you only need to make calls using Obi or wanna be mobile too.
Lina:
HI,
Yeah I know about the fongo app - I have it!
But sometimes the app causes my phone to just die in the middle of calls. Fongo is the same as freephoneline.ca and I use them for my house # but am thinking of moving it over to Anveo because the quality and consistency sucks! - same as the fongo app. Works great when it does - but that's IF it does.
Lina:
Oh and I forgot...
I DO want to use obi as well as my cell - but just use ONE number. With the fongo app - you can't port this # so I will have to use one for the app and another for home.
With the GV I can use just one number, but what happens when calls are no longer offeedr for free within Canada - then what?...I'll have to reconfigure once again, and give out another # again!?
soo confusing!! lol
One number For incoming calls within Ontario,Canada is perfect with Anveo except for the no free outgoing...so then I'll have to use GV for that.
Any ideas for this configuration with the use of just ONE number and have it ring on both my cell & Home.?
Since the obi doesn't allow calls to ring on itself and cell simultaneously, I would be okay with using the forward on/forward off option on the obi with the Anveo # for when I'm at home or away.
Any Suggestions would be great!

I don't know how this applies in Canada, but in the U.S. my Verizon plan allows me to setup 10 "Friends and Family" numbers, which are non-Verizon Wireless numbers (since Verizon to Verizon is free). So, if one sets their GV number as one of the ten, all calls made from your cell using Google Voice are totally free, no cell minutes used. You can use Google's Voice app to do this.
Similarly, if you set Google Voice to display your GV number on incoming calls, and NOT the caller's actual number, any calls received on your cell are also free.
That plan currently requires you to pay for 1,400 minutes a month. The 700 minute plan USED to give you five F&F, but no longer does.
We spread our plan over 5 people, which you would think would make a big dent in the 1,400 minutes, but with F&F AND with our two sons never making "calls", we barely hit 300 a month.
