With strange promos and tariffs, it is possible that Centrex 'lines' offer a larger Caller area and may in fact be cheaper than standard POTS when other services are added.
For example I need a bunch of POTS lines for our ISP a few, more than 10!, years ago. We ended up going with Centrex lines as they were cheaper than standard a 1FB (1 Fixed-rate Business). We ended up saving about 20% when we went with Centrex, Obviously, NOT the intended application, but that is what I call 'creative tariff interpretation':-) >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of >>Brian Capouch >>Sent: Friday, April 07, 2006 11:04 PM >>To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion >>Subject: [Asterisk-Users] [OT] Centrex Question >> >>I haven't dealt with Centrex for a long time, and one of my >>customers is being courted heavily by a Sprint salesperson. >> >>Am I not correct in assuming that each "line" of Centrex >>corresponds to an "extension" in the PBX world? >> >>This site has 2 POTS lines and 5 extensions, and they told me >>that for the same thing they're paying right now (~$40/POTS >>line) they will be getting two Centrex "lines" that will do >>the same thing. >> >>The way I understood it, each of those two Centrex lines is >>an extension. >> >>In general, would they still be paying their POTS fees, too? >> >>Sorry for the noise, but I can't discuss this intelligently >>with them, and that's hurting me. >> >>Thanks. >> >>B. >>_______________________________________________ >>--Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- >> >>Asterisk-Users mailing list >>To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: >> http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >> _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
