Free Canadian DID's

Anybody know of any free DID's providers in Canada?
Currently my daughter can dial the SIPBROKER local PSTN in Canada then the special sequence to call my Callcentric number - but it's a lot of numbers.
If I could get a Canadian version of IPKALL or free Callcentric, it would help.
Check out e164.org in my signature. If she uses Sipbroker to call you it will greatly simplify the dial string. After you register with e164.org and link your number to your sip address she can call the sipbroker gateway then enter your real phone number. No extra * or strange prefixes.
I also recommend she save the sipbroker gateway with your number as a single contact by putting one or two pauses between the two. Most phones and cell phones let you do that. The it's 1 click to call.

I have been thinking and the absolute cheapest solution that allows a free incoming DID is localphone. Add a free Inum to your Callcentric account if you don't have one already. Set up a free Localphone account for your daughter. Add her phone numbers to the localphone account. Any number she might call you from. These will need to be verified. Create a contact in her localphone account using your Callcentric Inum. Change "your local numbers" in her Localphone account to Canada and pick an area that is free for her to call.
Under the contacts a Canadian number will show up next to your Callcentric Inum. The cost of the call is 0.00.
The catch is she can only call you using a phone that has been registered in her localphone account. Incoming calls to that number with Caller Id that does not match her registered numbers will not ring your phone. These numbers are shared among many users which is why they use incoming caller ID to figure out the destination.

One last idea. Do you have free calling to Canada? If so you could set her up to use the Obi callback feature.

Found switch2voip.us with a google search. No affiliation and never tried it. Let us know how it works.
If you are willing to fork over CAD 50, freephoneline will give you lifetime SIP credentials.

Good find! I didn't think free Canadian DIDs existed. It looks like they require a minimum $25 deposit to open an account though. The catch is they charge for incoming calls I think. Freephoneline was the only one I could find.
