Free DID in Canada
SteveInWA:
Guys, I hate to get crabby, but I already solved the problem. Free calling either way, between Hortoristic's Callcentric number and the daughter's Callcentric number, simple, easy, with no gyrations and hoop-jumping required. If calling to other numbers is desired, it works at Callcentric's competitively low per-minute rates. I agree with CLTGreg on the dragon-chasing. It seems to be a unique obsession in the telephone techie world.
CLTGreg:
If you think it's unique to telecom, I dare you to buy a Pebble Smartwatch and not make any changes to it ;D
Until you complain that your wrist is vibrating too much because your mom is posting too many facebook photos, you haven't lived.
I feel a bit funny here because I want to know why people are doing things so I can learn but I don't want it to seem like I'm saying the idea is dumb. There was someone else that was insisting on setting up E911 manually. Why? I didn't ask because I couldn't answer half the question.
So sometimes I want to know about the motive but I'm not trying to offend.

I have free DID's in USA and UK but need one in Canada so my daughter can call me from British Columbia here in Seattle.
Anyone know of some totally free DID's in Canada?
Solution is Local Number från Localphone and Callcentric with Intl. DID - iNum.

I'm wondering how much of this goal is based upon chasing the free dragon for the sake of chasing it versus solving a problem and taking another look at fees.
I'm glad there's a solution but what about an Anveo number for $1 per month for 40 minutes per day or less or $2 per month for unlimited?
For a buck per line with free fax extension and dialing in USA, Canada or Europe-land,
Anveo has so far been great! People, its a buck billed a buck at a time.
Have not had success doing call 4ward, etc., with anveo but have really not invested lots of time.
This simply remind me of the old days of "Free TV'ers" spending many thousands to get a few unreliable channels for unknown periods of time, sometimes you just wonder why?

You can do call forwarding and just about anything else you can think of with their Call Flow. You'll be going down the rabbit hole when you discover that. But, once the call isn't SIP you'll pay per minute. I did a test last night but forgot to hang up and call back after the test and it cost me $.60. Still, I use it almost exclusively for inbound calls and I don't think it can beat for international available numbers.
