The Core Difference

Local Expertise vs. Global Bureaucracy

Bell and Rogers are publicly traded multinationals optimized for shareholder returns. Vantact is an Ontario telecom built to serve Ontario businesses. That distinction matters when something goes wrong at 8:47 AM on a Tuesday.

Common Questions

Answers to the questions Ontario businesses and their IT partners ask most when evaluating Vantact against Bell or Rogers.

Is Vantact better than Bell for Ontario business phone systems?keyboard_arrow_down
For most Ontario SMBs, yes, and by a meaningful margin on support quality, pricing transparency, and onboarding speed. Vantact offers 99.99% uptime (vs. Bell’s 99.9% standard SLA), same-day provisioning (vs. Bell’s 4–8 week windows), flat per-seat pricing (vs. Bell’s complex bundles), and an Ontario-based support team you can reach directly. The main scenario where Bell wins is when a business requires a bundled mobility package across cellular, internet, and voice under a single carrier contract.
How does Vantact compare to Rogers Business?keyboard_arrow_down
Vantact and Rogers Business overlap significantly on hosted voice capabilities, but diverge sharply on the partner channel and contract flexibility. Rogers competes directly with its own resellers. Vantact does not sell direct to end customers. All business goes through or alongside partners. For IT consultants and MSPs building a managed voice practice, Vantact is the purpose-built choice. For contract terms, Vantact offers month-to-month options versus Rogers’ standard 3-year agreements.
Can I keep my Bell or Rogers phone numbers when switching to Vantact?keyboard_arrow_down
Yes. Local Number Portability (LNP) is a regulatory right in Canada. We handle the full porting process for every DID, toll-free number, and fax line. Porting typically completes in 5–8 business days. During that window, both your Bell/Rogers service and Vantact run in parallel so there is zero downtime at cutover.
What happens to my service if the internet goes down?keyboard_arrow_down
Vantact includes automatic failover to mobile devices. If your office internet goes down, incoming calls automatically route to the mobile softphone app on your team’s smartphones. You never miss a call. This failover feature is standard on all plans with no add-ons required, and is part of how we maintain the 99.99% uptime commitment.
Is Vantact a white-label reseller of Bell or Rogers?keyboard_arrow_down
No. Vantact operates its own carrier-grade infrastructure with geo-redundant data centers in Canada. We are not a reseller or MVNO of Bell or Rogers. Our network interconnects with the PSTN through multiple upstream carriers for redundancy, but the platform, the features, the support, and the pricing are entirely Vantact’s own.
How does the Vantact partner program work?keyboard_arrow_down
Partners resell Vantact under their own brand with their own pricing. You set your margin. We handle provisioning, tier 2 support, and infrastructure. You own the customer relationship entirely. There are no volume minimums to start, and commissions are recurring for the lifetime of each account you bring on. Vantact never contacts your clients directly.
