Telehop was founded and is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, since 1993, and has grown into an alternative telecommunications provider to both residential and business customers. Telehop originally began offering residential and business two-way monthly 'flat rate' calling services in the Greater Toronto area between communities where a call would otherwise be a long distance call. In 1994, Telehop became one of Canada's few Equal Access Long Distance Providers, allowing it to offer its customers full service long distance calling globally at significantly lower rates. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has licensed Telehop as a Class "A" telecommunications carrier. Telehop's dedication and priority is providing homes and businesses with exceptional phone services at competitive rates without sacrificing quality or service.
