- #3 Choice for the Best Plan for Personal Use
- Rated one of the Best Value Plans
- Offers a Free Trial
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.

TelCan Positives
- 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.
TelCan Negatives
- The TelCan site is VERY confusing and not user friendly.
- 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.
