We previously covered the beta of Rogers One Number back in December of 2011, which was officially announced in February of 2012.

The service originally was setup to make and receive free calls from a computer, but now you can do so from your iPhone, which will come in handy when you’re traveling. Also, if your Rogers network coverage is poor in your local area, One Number users will be able to receive calls over Wi-Fi so you won’t miss calls.

The Rogers One Number iOS app so far has 15 reviews in the App Store, with an average rating of 5 stars.

Canadians have many free calling options from their iPhone. Recently, the Google Hangouts iOS app was updated to allow for free calls to Canada and the USA.
