Interesting, the reason I went with vonage is the coverage. My wife owns a small travel agency 2 hours north of TO and needs an extra line for local and long distance calls sometimes even over seas.
Over time I can see having many accounts with smaller providers, even fwd looks like it may come into play for us if they do voip to pstn I do appreciate your offer and will consider it, however who are you for example no offence? How do you bill etc? Honestly I have this vonage thing and it will have to do for now. I see vonage does soft phone accounts also which would probably be better for *. For $13 over and above what I have of coarse. It would be really nice to see a bunch of asterisk server owners come together and put a dent in some of these bigger companies coverage like bell and vonage is what I am saying I guess. Really take * and open source to a whole new level...... -----Original Message----- From: Philip Mullis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 10:05 PM To: tony cowling Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] vonage and or generic x100p if you want to do things on a budget and use asterisk just use an iax provider to give you origination and termination :) if you want i can give you a toronto iax account for something silly like 5/mo to play with . tony cowling wrote: >Just trying to do this on a budget is the problem. > >I am going to hook another pstn line up in the next day or two I guess that >may help answer my own question. > > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Philip Mullis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 9:32 PM >To: Tony Cowling >Cc: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] vonage and or generic x100p > >Hey Tony, as far as I know and according to Digium out of the 3 major >sets of clone x100ps there is only one version that works relativly >properly.
