What Real People Say About Us?

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

I love the ease of purchase, the online dashboard is transparent about services and features, the customer service has always been topnotch, and you can't beat the price! I have the landline phone for my kids too young for cell phones and it's an added safety feature should I need to call 911 as the number is tied to my physical address. Worth every penny!

Voiply provides excellent service with customer service that wowed me from the start. I had to move my phone away from landline and Voiply was the only service that had clear instructions and reasonable costs. Then I needed to clarify some questions, so I called and I was able to speak to a real person who understood what was going on, saved me money on the plan, and was friendly and knowledgeable. When it came time to port the number, I had clear updates and I had a date. On the morning of the date, the number switched and I was live. It was so smooth, it was like nothing even changed. I'm so thrilled that I found Voiply, I highly recommend this service and this business.

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!

For some reason I had lost the device registration" of my home Voiply phone system. I contacted their customer care service number and was connected to their AI support. It worked amazingly well, and the AI bot, whose name was Jack, answered every question I asked it as if I talking to a real person. After making sure all the interconnections where properly connected and working, it tried several times re-register my device. It was unsuccessful and realized that I needed a real "customer care technician" to help correct the problem.

I appreciate the time and attention that I received from the Voiply tech support agents when I was trying to resolve an issue with my adaptor. Mike walked me through a process to restore my service via the website chat and email. When neither of these methods was successful, Ana called me on my mobile phone and walked me through the process. Many thanks to their dedication in helping to resolve this issue.

One could not ask for a better voip then Voiply. I have been a customer for many years and never experienced any issues at all, until this this year between Christmas and New Years. I was not receiving incoming calls and called for assistance. One would think, and most likely expect that during this time of the season help would not be forth coming. WRONG. The tech help desk solved the issue on the call back on a day between Christmas and New Years. Solved the issue, called in on the line, left a message and life was good again. Voiply takes problems seriously and solves them as soon as possible. One GREAT company with customer service in mind. And as a bonus their plans are very affordable and reasonable.

I had a problem with the phone system. No messages and no dial tone. Got in touch with Voiply and they worked with me to get the system up and running. They worked with me to reset the box a couple of times and we had the system up and running shortly after that. The people that helped took their time and helped me to find how to adapter running again. Thanks for the help.

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.
