I have a service where I'll be providing voicemail to people in the
field and some consumers across the United States via my hosted Asterisk
server.
I need to provide them an interface to sign-up for the voicemail and
choose various opions (DID or toll-free number, email notifications,
email address, etc.), pay for those options with a credit card,
and ideally update Asterisk online or batch. In many ways, I'd like to
emulate what eVoice has done
http://www.evoice.com/evoice/twa/page/home where people choose a number,
and then sign-up for voicemail.
In other words,
1) I'd like to be automate the provisioning of VOIP toll and toll free
numbers. I know many VOIP carriers can do this, and I'd like to provide
the same type of interface.
2) I'd like to be able to allow individuals to sign-up and cancel their
voicemail accounts from a web site, and the corresponding asterisk
configurations would be automatically updated. Similar thing with
provisioning of the "wake-up" service, and having people perform email
address modifications over the web site.
I know I can engage a consultant to assist with all this, but I'm
wondering if there is software that will provide a jumpstart, or will
get me most of the way there. Many of the tools I've seen (e.g. ARI)
are for administrator use vs. end-user self-provisioning. Thanks.

One thing to keep in mind is that once you go through all the hassle of
coding "Instant Activation" of local numbers, you will soon find out
that it's tough to do that without those numbers already in your
inventory and pointing to your Asterisk system.
Considering the thousands of rate centers in the US, it can be VERY
expensive to keep all those numbers in your inventory.
There are lots of ways to deal with this issue, just wanted you to be
aware that it's not as easy with local numbers as it is with toll-free.
