Personally I'd port my number to a VoIP service. I'm guessing that with the Telus phone connection, you're only dealing with 1 number, so not much complexity here.
Invest in some inexpensive hardware such as an ATA or SiP enabled phone, and have far less problems, and I would guess the overall cost will be less than you currently pay as a bonus
That would alleviate the problem, and provide the benefit of not being beholding to any one supplier... lone as you have a internet connection, you'll have a phone connection. Some really good VoIP providers here in Canada.
