>From a recient post to uvlug's list: *************************** I use Broadvoice and because I use Asterisk, I don't need to pay them for a hook-up device. The plan is called BYOD (bring your own device). $10 a month for unlimited in and out going calls to anywhere in Utah. It's 2 cents to the other 49 states. I get a local number with: INCOMING: Caller ID Voice Mail Anonymous Call Rejection Do Not Disturb Call Forwarding (Always / Busy / No Answer / Selective) OUTGOING: Calling Line ID Delivery Blocking Speed Dial 8 (1 digit speed dialing - Limit 8) Speed Dial 100 (1 digit speed dialing - Limit 100) Call Return (Unlimited *69) Last Number Redial (Unlimited *66) CALL CONTROL: Call Waiting Call Forwarding Three-way Calling *************************** I really like it for home but would NOT use Broadvoice for biz. At work we do run an Asterisk server and have it hooked up to 8 regular phone lines to the outside world and 20 SIP phones inside. I works well and is a great fit for a Linux lover. Gabe P.S. If anyone goes for Broadvoice... 1) Ask me (on or off list) about it's idiosyncrasies. 2) Throw a dog a bone and use me as a referral number - 8018041199 ;) .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
