- Is it cheaper to call Canada mobiles or landlines?
- Mobile and landline rates differ in most countries, and Rogers and Bell numbers can be priced differently from fixed lines. The dialer quotes the exact number, so compare the two before you call.

- Can I call Canada from my phone's browser?
- Yes. LapLine runs in the browser on a phone as well as on a laptop, and it can be installed as a web app. Calls to +1 numbers use Wi-Fi or mobile data, not the international minutes of your phone plan.
