Pure Voip calls likely to remain dearer than local calls because old world providers have room to trim margins when revenue base is threatened. Last I looked into this about a year ago when we were moving our surgery and contemplating a PABX upgrade. Computer PABX looked initally attractive, but the biggest cost was the the interfaces from the computer PABX to the PSTN lines. We elected to stick with our old world old PABX and will be getting a single VOIP line mostly for outgoing STD. In time we hope to migrate to a more highly functional computer-based PABX, but I expect it will be a few years off to be seriously price competitive.
