What Real People Say About Us?

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

Voiply people and even their BOT have been very helpful. I've had the phone equipment since March 2025 but I hadn't tried to set it up until tonight. I had to wait to get a call back, but once the call came through, a wonderful agent named Blest helped me understand how to complete the process. Thank you!

For those considering VOIPLY, let me tell you this has been a great change from my previous VOIP service. The clarity has improved ten fold and so far haven’t had any issues with VOIPLY. THE $8.95 charge is somewhat misleading because it does not include other taxes and fee charges which amounts to a total of around $16per month which is still very reasonable compared to cell phone plans and even more on land line charges. I would definitely recommend VOIPLY as your home phone plan.

Hey guys, Voiply? Who, What Never heard of this company but I’m glad I ran across them. Saving me money on my telephone service. Sounds mickey mouse but far from it. Quality A+ Clarity A+ Ease to hook up A+ . If you’re getting your current number ported over, and after you connected the color coded wires, only 3 no big deal and you try to make a call and can’t don’t panic and think you made a mistake by switching don’t, it only takes a few days to get it running and what’s cool it rings also on your cell phone. Never have to wait at home for an important call. I’m excited with Volply and using my telephone bill savings to super size my next McDonald’s order with the extra money I’m saving. Roger D

They are great company in that they try very hard but they still have some things to learn like when a customer ask for an instruction manual so they would know how to use the mobile app and the portal and all the other stuff the phone the system over 9 times and I still have not gotten the owners manual or any way to figure it out on my own. I finally used the portal instead of the mobile app today and it was like a miracle. It changed everything. I thought I was dumb or my phone was broken because nothing was working very well on the mobile app. When I got over to the portal everything worked fantastically. Voiply is fantastic. I was paying $10 a month with Xfinity and $240 on top of that to have TV service and a landline or VoIP. So you offer the phone for like $16 and all the other companies wanted $40 for a phone. So you guys are about the best deal in the market. It took a while to get the phone to work properly because it was getting ported over and so forth but I understand that. And then once it was working it's been fantastic I really love it. I got rid of Xfinity and I gained a good partner in voiply! I'm still loving the voiply service. I request today owners manual and they sent it to me right away. My new puppy loves it too!

I spent nearly a year to find a decent service to transfer my Skype number. After much research I found VIOPLY and decided to port and park the number for the time being. The price is extremely good, settings are simple, porting is well supported. The AI assistant is quite useful and will transfer you to human support quickly when needed. Human support options offer chat, email, and phone so it is extremely convenient, and the chat support I received was excellent. My skype number porting is still in process but assuming all goes well this is a very useful and economical service with a variety of free and add-on services easy to choose from. Highly recommend. Quick update, my port completed after a second day with some quick support. Very pleased I can cost effectively keep my long-time Skype number.

I'm so excited to have a landline home phone once again. This is the best and easiest way to reach me as I have a large house and I can put phones in everyroom if I want. I cannot carry a cellphone around my hip all day so never hear a call from it. The price is so perfect for my low income status. I actually received this earlier than expected. The instructions were so simple to connect to and have my phone working in minutes. Yes, even I, a elderly woman, could do this without having help from anyone. Yes I am so delighted to have found VOIPLY . Thanks again and look forward to many years together.

The first time I needed customer service and reached out to them, they were there for me. Very professional, courteous and determined to resolve my issue(s). Timely responses and great follow through. They have since fixed the problem on their end (not all problems are Voiply's fault). And all this for an incredible, low monthly fee. I would indeed recommend them. Sincerely, Chuck

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover answers to frequently asked questions about area codes.

What is an area code?

An area code is a three-digit number that designates a particular geographic region in the telephone network from which a call originates or to which it is directed. Its purpose is to facilitate efficient and organized communication within the network.

Do different provinces have different numbers of area codes?

Certain Canadian provinces have multiple area codes, whereas others have just one.

Why do we need area codes?

Area codes play a vital role in effectively routing calls within a country, ensuring accurate delivery to the intended destination. By incorporating these codes, callers can rest assured that their connection will reach the correct location.

Can an area code give an indication of a phone number's origin?

Certainly! The area code of a phone number can provide a rough indication of the call's origin or at least the location where the number was registered.

Can I keep my area code if I move to a different province?

With Voiply, you can enjoy the convenience of keeping your phone number, even when relocating to a different province in Canada. Say goodbye to the hassle of changing numbers and keep your trusted phone number, no matter where life takes you.

How many area codes are there in Canada?

As of 2023, Canada has 40 geographic area codes and two non-geographic area codes, bringing the total number of area codes dedicated to use in Canada to 42. Additionally, Canada uses 50 area codes which are assigned to specific geographic areas plus area codes 600 and 622 which are not assigned to a geographic area.

What are non-geographic area codes?

Non-geographic area codes, such as toll-free numbers (800, 888, etc) or premium rate services (900), are not restricted to any specific geographic area. They are utilized to provide specific services, offering convenience and enhanced accessibility to users.

Are area codes unique to each city?

While it's not an absolute rule, it's common for larger cities to have their unique area codes, whereas smaller cities and regions may share an area code.

What happens when an area runs out of phone numbers within its existing area code?

When a geographic area uses up all its available phone numbers within a particular area code, a new area code is introduced in that region. This process is commonly referred to as an area code split or overlay.

How are new area codes created?

The North American Numbering Plan Administration (NANPA) creates new area codes when the existing codes in a region are expected to run out. Typically, the decision to introduce a new area code is made years in advance to ensure a smooth transition.
