After a frustrating time with Bell Canada and its custom of constantly changing terms of service and fees, I have switched to two more economical plans. As most of my calls are made to destinations in Canada, these plans work for me.
For short calls, I use Yak Canada’s 10-10 Plan (5 cents/minute). Just press 10-10-925 +1+ area code + number, with no pauses. No contract. No network fees. This plan works for destinations in Canada and the U.S. 24-7. Calls are billed on your local phone bill. Details here:

For longer calls, I use Wintel’s Call 25 plan. Once you sign up with them, you dial a local access number and when you get the dial tone, press area code + number. You can talk unlimited minutes for 25 cents per call to Canada and the U. S., 24-7. This plan has a monthly $3.95 network charge, but if you tend to make lengthy calls, you’ll recoup that fee quickly. Get full sign-up details here:

Those who prefer to sign up by telephone may do so at 1-877-904-0077. Their customer care number is: 1-888-216-6624 for existing customers with any concerns.
If I’m going to be traveling in Canada, I use the President’s Choice calling card, available at No-Frills and Loblaws grocery stores. The current rate is 4 cents per minute. Their International calling card would be handy when you’re traveling outside Canada.
