$120/year in front. If you don't like, you can get 100% refund in one month.
Good quality and you can call anywhere in Canada and USA.

Can someone explain what is VOIP?Thanx!
VOIP is Voice over Internet Protocol. Its a technology where voice data packets are transferred over internet instead of a regular PSTN.
Basically what it means to you (or any layman end user) is that when you get a VOIP connection from a service provider, you will get a device that you will need to connect to your high speed internet connection, and you will have a working phone line. You do not need a computer to make calls, you can connect a regular phone or cordless to the VoIP adapter.
The benefit of VOIP is that you can take it (the device) along with you where ever you travel. For example if you travel to India, all you need to do is to take your VOIP adapter with you and attach it to a high speed internet connection in India and you can take and make calls as if you were in Canada.
The best that I've seen so far is Majic Jack (www.majicjack.com). It costs you $40 one time and there is no monthly bill for a year. You can pay another $20 and get it for another year or just pay one time $60 and get it for five years. I've been using it since last two plus years and works like a charm. My parents in India also have one, they can make unlimited calls to anywhere in North America for free.
Feel free to ask more if you have any doubts.
Cheers!
