  • In January 2004, PRIMUS Canada introduced a consumer VoIP service for broadband users in Canada. Customers can select from Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton local numbers. Operator services and 911 will not be offered at launch, however development is underway. The service is priced at $19.95 per month, 15% less on average than the basic service customers pay now for traditional residential phone service, according to the company.
