ThinkTel in Canada

[terry.desjarlais]

We are looking for a PSTN provider that integrates with Webex. Well specifically we would like to find a way to place an outbound call that would have a local area code phone number. People tend to not answer calls from outside the area code. 

I was wondering if we were to purchase the ThinkTel service if it would do what we need.

@terry.desjarlais For Webex Calling, you can find the list of the latest cloud-based providers available in Canada at https://community.cisco.com/t5/collaboration-voice-and-video/global-availability-and-cloud-connected-pstn-options-for-webex/ta-p/3916211.

I do not see ThinkTel in that list. Premises-based PST with Local Gateway is always an option if you want to utilize PSTN from ThinkTel.

I personally have not used ThinkTel, but I know OneStream Networks covers Canada and can do local area codes. They also offer Free Trials and can be directly connected to the Webex Cloud Calling.

Thank you for the reply! I noted that the minimum is 250 lines, that is a lot more than we need.

That's only Tata Communications. The rest of the providers do not have a minimum.
