Hi all, I just had SNR provisioned for one of my clients in the 905 area code. This will replace and improve on the FX (Foriegn Exchange) line that was costing him over $230 per month. The cost is $17.50 per month, no LD charges will apply because it is forwarded to a local number. Since this number could not be ported to another carrier this is the best of all solutions (even if it means staying with Bell). He saves over $200 per month More than one simulatanious call (4) Keeps his number and directory listings Consistant disconnect signal (as opposed to the FX line) Overflow on busy to a Toronto DID (Unlimitel) 1.1 c/min My client is now a happy camper!
