I just moved to Canada from the US and was sorely disappointed by the fact that there is no Google Voice (GV) here. And then my backside went on fire when I learned the cost of cellphone access in Canada. (Unrelated- see my facebook rant on cost of cellphone access in Canada http://www.facebook.com/pages/Canadian-Consumers-for-cheaper-cellphone-plans/150258738318696)
So I decided to create my own personal Google Voice like service in Canada and extended it to work for all of my family across Canada and USA so they dial almost the entire world for free.
What I started with:
1. I live in Toronto and have a Vonage line with a Toronto number and a World Plan for 29.99 /month
2. I also have a Rogers cellphone plan with which I get a bunch of minutes within Ontario
What I wanted to do was:
Objective:
Create a personal GV like Service so I could dial any global number from my cellphone for free:
Detail:
From my Rogers cell, proxy all my outgoing calls via my home Vonage line so I could call all over the world for free.
Said another way, from my cellphone, I wanted to call my Vonage line and then have the Vonage line dial out any number for me.
Just like GV, right?
