Google Voice enables Unlimited FREE Calls to Canada [Updates]
| By Alok Saboo on August 19th, 2009 |
A quick update for all you Google Voice fans. Google Voice has restored the unlimited free calling to Canada feature. Free calling to Canada was available in Grandcentral (earlier avatar of Google Voice), but Google decided to remove that option in Google Voice.
But starting today, Google has re-enabled the unlimited free calling option to Canada!!
I was surprised when Google decided to stop the Canada calling feature, considering Grandcentral always had it. My guess is, Google wants to roll out these features in a phased manner so that the services do not get disturbed due to heavy usage. Let’s hope Google keeps giving us some great features we are missing at Google Voice.
While you are enjoying the free calls to Canada, you may also want to check out how to enable push notifications for Google Voice or enable SIP support for Google Voice or save cell phone minutes using Google Voice.

You are right, Google Voice is only open to US residents Or only provides US numbers at the moment, but this enables you to make calls to Canadian numbers, i.e. you can make calls from Google Voice account to any Canadian number for FREE.
I should have made it clear in the post, thanks for pointing out and apologies for the inconvenience.
I've just tried it and it does not work in Canada.
