A Bell alternative with no 3-year contract
Many Quebec businesses still pay for a traditional business line with a three-year agreement. Here is a numbers-based comparison, with dated and sourced prices, to help you decide.

What changes when you switch to VoIP
- No 3-year agreement: add or remove users month to month, with no penalty.
- Employees answer anywhere: cell phone, computer or desk phone, at the office or at home.
- A professional phone menu written by AI and recorded by a professional voice ($100, one time), business hours and Quebec holidays.
- Encrypted calls (TLS + SRTP) and a system hosted in Canada.
- Keep your numbers: online transfer, free, with no interruption.
When a traditional line still makes sense
If an alarm system or payment terminal still relies on a copper line, keep that line for the device and move your voice lines. If you have a large bundle discount, run the numbers with your actual bill: our calculator helps.
Switch without risk
- Order with a new temporary number or request the transfer of your numbers.
- Test the system with your staff while your current line still works.
- On transfer day, calls arrive on your new extensions; your old provider closes the transferred line.
Check the cancellation terms of your current agreement before transferring your numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I leave Bell before my agreement ends?
It depends on your contract: early cancellation fees may apply. Check them before transferring your numbers; you can also start with a new number and transfer your lines when the term ends.
Can my Bell numbers be transferred?
Yes. Number portability is a right in Canada; request it online with an electronic signature, at no cost.
