Talkit.ca offers an ideal no-frills home phone alternative package. Talkit has new numbers and number portability for most of Ontario's cities and towns, and major centers in Quebec, Alberta, and BC. They have most of the features you'll expect at a price you would not believe.
This is an ideal low-cost Home Phone alternative and it comes with unlimited calling to anywhere in Canada + features such as Voicemail + Caller ID and 3-Way Calling. Talkit was formerly known as CANTALK9000, in 2010 changed name/branding to Talkit.ca with the tagline of "No Strings Attached".
Talkit is HQ in Hamilton, ON and is financially backed by a local entrepreneur; who has been known as a property developer, airport operator and at the one-time port owner of Hamilton's Bull-Dogs AHL team.
In June 2015 Talkit announced it began servicing the province of Manitoba - offering more choice to that part of the Prarie.
At gonevoip.ca we like Talkit's no frill offering approach; the mix of features, Canada wide long distance calling, great international long distance rates. The reviews we get from users tend to point to a lackluster customer service experience. Having said that, there is an instructive video on how to setup Talkit's ATA right here.

Talkit Review
I had it with Rogers phone service; was to little features for too much of a price. Decided to leap into VOIP before going on Wireless (which ironically we use Bell and Rogers) We ported our number; prior to complete we got a call from Rogers asking us why we were porting and if there was anything they could do to keep us.. (now they are asking..??). We signed in when they a promotion over the holiday for 1st year & ATA at $99. When we had to reach their support team they were responsive, took a while to get a hold of someone (but that's also true with other companies) and they did resolved our questions right in there and did called back to follow up to know if everything was resolved. Their website is basic – but really what else do you need. So far our first VOIP experience is a good one.Top Critical
Awful
Tried Talkit for a 30 day trial after being recommended by a friend. With the unit I received I was not able to make any calls only receive. After 3+ hours of tech support another unit was sent to me. Again I was unable to make outgoing calls. After 5 or 6 hours of tech support (sometimes on hold for up to 50 min.) I gave up and asked for my money back. Talkit refused as it had been over 30 days since my first device arrived. I explained that it never worked and that 2 weeks of that time was wasted waiting for a second device. Said nothing they could do had to pay for 1 year of service on something that didn't work.| April 1, 2018 | |

Thank you Andrea Huntley!I dealt with Andrea Huntley when I signed up with TalkIt. One of the nicest people I met as Customer Service Representative. TalkIt is one lucky company with an employee like Andrea. I thank you Andrea from the bottom of my heart with everything during my signing up. It was my pleasure to meet you and I wish you much success with your employer TalkIt. Kind regards, Rodika Barbu |

Best Service! Great PriceI have had the service for a while now and it has been great! The couple of times that I needed to speak with someone I was able to reach a live person quickly and they were very friendly and professional. I have had no complaints! |

Love this CompanyThe service is great, the price is good and the staff are AMAZING!! I would keep this service just to support the staff that's how much I like them, they are so helpful and caring and it really shines through. I had issues when I was first setting it up for my mom and I was really stressed, the staff understood and really helped and took care of everything, in no time the service was working perfectly! |

Delayed VoicemailIt sometimes takes a day for a message to show up.Reply from: Andy November 21, 2016 Is it delayed when it's coming to your email or to your phone handset. If it's coming to your email then it's most likely your email that's delayed as most emails are. |

Talkit Customer ServiceTalkit customer service is very caring, helpful and tries to solve your problem as quickly as possible. Its management staff is very kind, helpful and listens to your problems and tries to solve your technical problems if they could not be solved by their technical support department. |

Highly RecommendHaving used this company's phone service for many years, I find their service to be consistently high and trouble free.The Technical Staff is very knowledgeable and efficient. No cable providers can match their prices. I highly recommended this company and have referred many people to it. |

can I use a number from Burlington in dundas and use my fax machine on the same number ?Yes, you can. You can even take your Talkit device anywhere in the world and use it with your number from Burlington if you wanted to :) |
could I set up this home phone in Orillia then take it to Fort Myers Beach Area code 239 ZIP 33931Luke is right, yes you can take it with you; in fact you can take it anywhere in the world that has highspeed internet and does not block VoIP. Keep in mind that it will act as if you were still in Orillia so you can still call anywhere in Canada but if you call a U.S. phone number there will still be long distance charges and like Luke said keep in mind about the 911.If the plan is to use it only while there in vacation, then yes. You wont be the first, nor the last, to take the adapter along and hook it wherever you go. Consider; need reliable internet & if you do dial 911 keep in mind the address registered is in Orillia, so you will have to tell them your present location. Or use a cellphone to dial 911. |
