Rogers Cable offers a VoIP phone package they call "Home Phone". The basic plans don't include any long distance, so you need to choose a long distance plan separately.
Prices subject to taxes, monthly 911 Emergency and Hearing Impaired Assistance (HIA) fees, a monthly recurring charge (some Long Distance plans) and a monthly System Access Fee of $4.50.
Long distance plans range from 9¢ per minute North America with no monthly costs to $25+ per month flat rate plans. Additional per minute charges for calling cellphone numbers in various countries.
There are a bunch of us (Scott, James, and Chris, too, once we told him the specs) that are lusting after the Nokia N91, but it is supposedly delayed until the first quarter of 2006.
Some background on the specs: this phone is a pretty high end unit, including a 4GB hard drive (store tons of music, photos, etc.), standard headset jack (use your killer headphones to listen to the music), 2MP camera (almost decent enough quality to leave your low-end digital camera at home) AND, the big one, built in Wi-Fi of the 802.11G flavour.
It's this last that is interesting. Nokia has already said that is working on Voice over WLAN: see Time Europe -- "2006 will be a big year for [mobile] wi-fi" and vnunet.com -- "replacing mobile and desktop phones with series 60 Nokia smartphones could make IT management easier". So, my guess is that they are specifically holding back the release of the N91 so it can be one of the flagship phones to include this functionality.
