Ever since we moved away from my home town, I have relied a lot on long distance to stay in touch with friends and family.  In some respects, besides Internet, it is one of those things that I have just counted on in life.

But just this past week things changed when our phone company cut us off our long distance because of some old unpaid account that they found from five years ago with my wife’s name on it.  We paid the overdue account, but the $250 deposit wasn’t something that I was interested in.  We needed the long distance though, so we decided to look into options.

A couple of our friends told us of some Canada VOIP companies that would be able to provide us with the long distance calling that we needed and would replace our existing phone service.

We thought that we would do some research and find which of the VOIP providers would work the best for us.  Thankfully, we found a lot of reviews to read online and we used them to help us with our decision. 

It will be nice to have long distance again.
