I'm currently using a Videotron which provides Telephony, TV and Internet. My parents also use Videotron, which means calls between us is free (it's a long distance).
I'm about to cancel my telephony with them and use
voip.ms, along with an Obi device. My dad has been talking about canceling their long distance plan, but keep using Videotron for telephony (my mom talks so much that if would turn out to be more expensive for them to use
voip.ms and all her family is a long distance call, but they all use Videotron so it's free).
If I get my parents an Obi110 and I get an Obi100, could I use it to do this?
1) My parents keep their telephony from Videotron (which is already voip by the way), plugged in the Line port of the Obi110. All incoming and outgoing calls go through Videotron by default, so nothing changes for them.
2) If they want to make a long distance call, they connect to my Obi through the circle of Trust, then dial a number using my
voip.ms account set up at home. I know that
voip.ms supports DISA, but from what I understand it would be useless in this particular situation since it would now be a long distance for them to call me at home without going through the circle of trust.
Am I getting this right? Is this all possible if I only use the Obi100 at home or I'd need an Obi110 too?
From what I understand, this seems like a working solution to keep costs down.
I'm also wondering what's the use of the line port, else than using/keeping a landline?
Thank you very much!
