[*] Dell is now a VOIP provider (in Canada)

[Dan Keizer]

Interesting -- appears the corporation that takes your money is:

Fongo Inc.
Fibernetics Corp 605 Boxwood Drive
Cambridge ON N3E1A5
519 489-6700

They run numerous companies, such as the freephoneline mentioned, as well
as worldline, 295.ca, 101295.com (dial-around service) and appear to appear
to also offer DSL in some areas and are a CLEC.

They did only offer lines in a few provinces and provide the following list
of calls that are free:  http://www.dellvoice.ca/cityListing

Their model appears to be based on in-app advertising -- ie: Dell top 10
deals of the week etc.  Appears to be an Asterisk based system.
I checked the output with tcpdump -- SIP registration via
proxy.fongo.comwith the credentials of the user (which is the  phone
#), ie: 1nxxxxxxxxx.

Their app is not 100% stable.  It has crashed a number of times on me in
the past day -- even with an update to the app earlier today.

Dan.
