According to recent sources just now, WildBrain is exiting its Canadian television broadcast business, shuttering Family Channel, Family Jr., WildBrainTV, and Télémagino after both Rogers and Bell decided to drop the channels from their distribution services. The company was unable to negotiate a new carriage agreement with Rogers, which led to the decision to cease broadcast operations. As a result, the previously announced transaction to sell a majority stake in the channels to IoM Media...

why aren't IP phones sold retail, when analog still is? 22 Oct 5:31 AM (19 hours ago)

Let's just ignore the Cellular-versus-landline arguements for the moment.

If so many folks use VOIP instead of POTS now, why are there only analog phones on the store shelves in Canada? IP phones only seem to be sold to businesses. I understand that a business gets a PBX system or server and controls it's own totality.

I have Teksavvy VOIP, and they allow any ATA boxes, so also IP phones.

. . . maybe because IP phones usually come with a server, I haven't seen any model with an...

Home (VOIP) options: Shaw/Rogers contract expiring 20 Oct 11:00 AM (2 days ago)

We received email notification (first time) that our plan is expiring in a few months.

We still need a home phone and we have a really good rate with Shaw/Rogers and Shaw/Rogers for this contract but Rogers is itching to get us onto a higher price plan. I'm trying to list my options.

I'm thinking of ditching Shaw for Telus. I have looked at some VOIP services like VOIP.MS which seems quite complex: billing in US dollars, you pay for incoming and outgoing calls including spam. Setting up...

Data SIM on foreign carrier and voice calls 19 Oct 5:23 PM (3 days ago)

I've notice people mentioning getting a data SIM when in a foreign country. How does that affect voice calls? With VoLTE, phone calls are IP, so I would suspect should work OK, unless blocked. I know a 3rd party soft phone, such as Fongo will work, but what about the built in phone? Of course, WiFi calling works over WiFi anywhere, unless blocked.
