[jkyc]

Well, for those who are still using bell. I think it's time to get a new change.
Just browsed to the AIC website, they have a special offer for home phone's service.
For $20.5 per month (for the 1st 4 months, then become $31.2), you would receive : basice phone service,
calleer id,
3 ways conferences,
call forwarding, call screening.

or $27.95, you will get all of the above services and features, no price increasement cuse there isn't any promotional period.

DO NOT use them. I tried and it was the worst service you will expect ... such that, there is no one answering the phone when you have a question.

I remember subscribing to them, 4 months went by, and AIC has not ported the line over. AIC does not have the necessary equipment, personnel, knowledge to provide the land-line service. All AIC is doing is buying lines from BELL, TELUS, etc and reselling them to people.

AIC is garbage! You can try, but be warned!:twisted:

[wolvie11]

another alternative is primus... i m planning to switch... ive had enough of bell and their overpriced service!! :mad:

[TCWeasel]

I'm about to move into an area that is only serviced by Bell.

Pray for me.

i guess this is talking about landline not VOIP.
