In my case I have a local Asterisk server, but I also use a hosted remote IP-PBX for some things. If I lost connectivity to the hosted service, and had no other inhouse PBX, then things get pretty bleak. About all you can do is direct dial by IP or SIP URI between phones inside the LAN. People often lose sight of the fact that you can make connections directly between phones by IP or SIP URI. Sometimes with a little internal DNS fiddling this can be as convenient as email. If you have your own Asterisk server (or other PBX) in-house and you lost your SIP trunk then you have more flexibility. Your internal diaplan should provide for internal service already. What type of PBX hardware do you have on-site? Also what make/models of phones?
