TelCan.net offers several
different products, many
of which we won't be
discussing. From
their main webpage it
can be confusing to
figure out exactly what
they do offer. For
our purposes they offer
both toll-free plans and
virtual PBX systems.
They've broken them out
separately; however they
appear to be
interchangeable and/or
combined to make one
package.
This is a bare-bones
system, offering the
basic services. If
you're simply looking
for a toll-free
forwarding service then
TelCan.net might be for
you.
They don't offer any
different plans, all are
the same and if you want
additional mailboxes and
extensions you have to
pay for it. 5
different extensions
costs $7.99 per month.

Pros:
-
You can set a weekly
limit for calls and
once that limit is
hit, calls are no
longer accepted.
Good feature for
anyone with kids at
college.
-
No charge to
transfer a
pre-existing number
-
Their price for a
vanity number is
very low - $14.99.
Cons:
-
Mailbox messages are
limited to two
minutes each
-
Access to some
features require
additional fees
-
Telephone support is
not ideal. I called
on multiple
occasions and was
unable to get
through to a live
person.
However, when I did
get through, they
were very helpful.
