So I just called Bell. I currently have naked DSL service here at my condo, but I've been starting to use my cell phone for testing, and getting $300 a month bills is really starting to irritate me. So I thought, "Hey, just activate that phone line in your living room and save the money on your cell bill". Great idea I thought... until I called Bell.
$55 activation fee + $45 a month for the most basic tone service. I remember when the phone line was around $20-$25 a month when I ran a BBS!!! Holy crap... $45 a month for a phone line?! I'm not that old either... (26 to be exact... Jim will tell you I'm around 62 though). Soooo. I'm in downtown Toronto (across from Fort York near Exhibition to be exact). Is there any other companies that can provide tone on the line for me? I just need to be able to call local. Thoughts/Suggestions? (Obviously I have VoIP here, but the point is to be able to test from a landline for the ITSP I work for :)) Thanks! -- Leif Madsen. http://www.leifmadsen.com http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk
