CAN I USE MY COMPUTER WITH YOUR SERVICE?

Yes, your computer is not required to use VoIP service. If you want to use your computer to surf the Internet and talk on your telephone at the same time, you will need a router that supports DHCP and NAT.


WHAT HAPPENS TO MY SERVICE IF I MOVE?

Take it with you. Your VoIP service can be taken wherever you move as long as you have a high-speed Internet connection. Your phone number goes with you.


IS IT EASY TO SETUP?

It’s simple. In five minutes you can have your service up and running and make your first phone call. Simply plug the telephone adaptor (provided) to your network and then to your telephone.


CAN I KEEP MY CURRENT PHONE NUMBER WITH YOUR SERVICE?

Yes, you can keep your phone number. If you are located in certain areas there is a $35 fee for this service. If local number portability is not yet offered in your area, your VoIP telephone number will be a new number. You can pick from any of the available area codes, even if we don't have your area code yet.


WHAT AREA CODES DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE?

Currently you have a choice of 403 or 250 area code. JetStream will be offering area codes in other parts of Canada/US and select areas to be announced very soon.


WHAT ARE THE COSTS TO GET STARTED?

When you subscribe there are NO set-up fees or long term commitments. The cost to get started is the your first months Plan + your equipment cost (look for current promotions) + applicable taxes.


SHOULD I REPLACE MY TELEPHONE LINE WITH VoIP?

This is a great solution for some people, especially for those with multiple phone lines. If you use Cable Modem or DSL over a dedicated line, you may consider canceling your phone service altogether after trying out VoIP. For many people, Voice over IP is a great way to add a second line for that person in your home who loves to talk!


DOES UNLIMITED MEAN LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE CALLING?

Yes, JetStream’s unlimited is really unlimited. Please keep in mind, however, that 3 calling plans are available with different combinations of local and long distance calling. Please be sure to select the plan that best reflects your actual needs.
