Long-distance Calls

IP Telephony (VoIP) reduces long-distance fees in a number of ways: low long-distance rates in Canada and elsewhere, free calls between subscribers and unparalleled mobility.

Low long distance rates

Combined with our extended calling area, our long distance rates in Canada and internationally will keep your bill to a minimum. Starting at $ 0.04 per minute. Check out our international calling rates.

Free calls between Oricom subscribers

ORICOM INTERNET IP telephony subscribers do not pay long distance charges when calling each other, no matter where they are in the world.

Mobility

Planning to be out of the country for an extended period? Bring your IP gateway and save big! Your telephone line will follow you wherever you go and the calls you make within Oricom’s widely-extended local areas will always be considered local.

Examples of Long-Distance Calls

CASE No.1

You mail your gateway to your brother, who lives in Paris. You call each other.

Since you are both using an IP line in Quebec, your call is considered local.

This does not count as a long-distance call.

CASE No.2

You leave for Florida for 6 months. You bring your gateway with you and plug it in on American soil. You call Quebec.

Since you are calling from an IP line based in Quebec, your call is considered local.

This does not count as a long-distance call.

CASE No.3

You leave for Florida for 6 months. You bring your gateway with you and plug it in on American soil. You call your neighbour (in Florida).

You are calling an American number from a line based in Quebec. Even though you live only steps from your neighbour, your call is considered long-distance.

This counts as a long-distance call.
