You might want to reconsider using Callcentric. Their technical support isn't very good as it takes them a long time to reply to support tickets. You might want to also consider les.net and Vitelity. Their technical support is very responsive when it comes to support tickets....
Well I definitely don't want to go advanced I already use Callcentric and they seem OK for what I need. My phone is an Android, I guess I can search for a SIP client that won't drain the battery. I read that at least some of the older Android versions had a built-in SIP client as part of the native dialer.

I looked around at the Callcentric website, and it appears I can port in my Fido and Google Voice numbers, but what I can't figure out just yet is how to combine all the numbers into one plan, or if I need to select one plan per number...and I think it might be the latter.
