It’s a unified communications play for consumers, but what’s interesting about One Number is that it’s built around a consumer’s mobile number instead of a landline.

The service allows users to hand off mobile calls, texting, messaging and video chatting to their computer, continuing with a call without interruption. It also allows syncing of contacts seamlessly.

Vancouver-based CounterPath is a partner in the platform that allows users to connect to any Canadian phone number; Rogers customers can use the service from anywhere in the world.
