Why Canada?

Canada is a high-priority market in North America, billed locally in Canadian Dollar (CAD) and served in English, French. Customers expect a local number, local-hours response, and pricing they can recognise — and that's what this stack delivers.

How it works

Hosted PBX from AstraQom is delivered as a managed service. We provision numbers and capacity on licensed local carriers, terminate calls on our redundant SIP infrastructure, and route them to your team via softphone apps, hardphones or your existing PBX. You get a single bill, a single SLA, and a single dashboard. Replace your legacy PBX with a fully managed cloud phone system. Auto attendants, IVR, hunt groups, voicemail-to-email, call recording and softphone apps for every employee — provisioned in days, not months.

Pricing

Pricing is published in local currency wherever possible, with transparent per-minute, per-channel, or per-user rates. See live plans for Canada below — most businesses bundle the service with a local number for the best per-unit economics.

Regulator & compliance

Service is delivered in compliance with CRTC, the telecommunications regulator in Canada. KYC documents are collected once during onboarding and stored on our file for the duration of the service.
