cedros Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Which do you think is better for phoning Shaw in Canada a VPN, Skype or Magic Jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyjillin Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I contact them with my Vonage phone # which is the same # we had in Canada when we opened up with Star Choice [Shaw] 16 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I use Skype; the numbers are completely obfuscated, so they may suspect something when they see the display, but they have never questioned me. 20 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedros Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Thanks. I would probably only use it twice a year. Probably best with a VPN as the others cost a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last year or so, Skype let's you pick any mobile number to use as your Caller ID when you phone out...doesn't have to be a "skype-in" paid for number). I have been successful with it in my dealings with many US businesses, including banks, cc companies, insurance, etc. The number is even recognized in telephone trees. Not sure in Canada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Wow, I did not know that (I rarely use Skype that way). Under the dial pad is a link that says SET YOUR CALLER ID SO PEOPLE KNOW IT'S YOU WHO'S CALLING. You pick your country and number. Very cool. Thanks for that.
