Skype is just ridiculous these days. Did you know the Canadian pension plan is a big investor in skype right now and we still can't get skype in numbers directly from them.

They keep whining it's about E911, but other companies are able to provide the numbers and service, so if they can do it, skype can to.

This one came recommended to me from a news paper columnist who had written about the subject:
http://skypeincanada.ca/skype_for_business_frequently_asked_questions/skypein_canada_number

He'd written that skype-in was available in Canada so I wrote him asking where he'd seen such a thing on the Skype page and pointed me to this company. He has tried it out.
It's more expensive than skype of course because your skype out package would include a free number if they'd provide them.

I found one thread on the skype forums claiming they were all over it, but when I actually did the google search they suggested, I didn't really turn up anything at all.

I haven't tried it myself.

The newspaper columnist claims to have been using it.

in fact "skypeincanada.ca" + scam get's me basically nothing on google
