Only a handful of carriers are in those rate centers. When I needed numbers I got local numbers from the Reading, PA rate center since that local calling area included the area I am in. When I moved within my same town a year ago I ported my number to Service Electric and get my local dial tone through them and haven't been happier plus I'm not constrained with the poor DSL at the new location. In any event, the key is if a provider doesn't service your late rate center look upstream for the next major one that includes you local calling area. Leon WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Provider
Vox has reasonable rates if you are a WISPA member. We have used them for about 2 years without any issues. Management billing is a bit cumbersome if you offer anything other than unlimited services. voxcorp.net Chris From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Leon D.

It happens automatically every 30-60 days for their DID inventory process or something. I do not have customers that will wait 30 days, so I call in and make sure they clear it up.

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Provider
Well right. There's 38746546574 VoIP carriers in Chicago's 358 LATA. 38746546571 of them only cover the contiguous ATT portion. Only say 3 cover the remaining ATT and Frontier portions of that LATA. Obviously all of these numbers were made up (other than the LATA number), but I think I got the point across. Most places where WISPs aren't already doing VoIP, VoIP coverage is difficult to obtain because of a lack of coverage with national providers. Take Elizabeth, IL for example. It hooks to the Freeport, IL tandem. Level 3 does have a presence in Freeport, but last I checked, their VoIP coverage did not extend there. However, local companies BitWise and Aero are both there. Both will sell you VoIP service, and you'll be hard pressed to find either on an aggregator's network. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 11/29/2010 9:25 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: Our provider has a dozen carriers or more, I expect others are comparable.

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Provider
I have ported lots of them in their clec area. It is always a problem. Typical Att ports are 7-10 days. Centurytel is 90-120 days. Even when they port they sometimes don't remove the numbers from their switch so any centurytel customer that calls their numbers gets a ring with no answer. They truly try everything possible to stop a port.

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Provider
Ohio is a fairly well populated state. (You may think not, but just wait until the next election to see how big Ohio is.) More than likely multiple of those carriers service those areas. I'm just trying to say that most WISPs that don't already have VoIP live areas that I guarantee you XO and Global Crossing couldn't find on a map with Google's help. I thought Pac West folded when they ran out of money, but I guess not. I haven't looked at their penetration since then because of this. Verizon depends on which part of the house is selling it this time. Verizon local doesn't really service much of anything after splitting Frontier and their New England businesses, and they've never really been fond of the MCI VoIP product. etc., etc. - Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com On 11/29/2010 9:43 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: For domestic we have...off hand...

[WISPA] VOIP Provider
It seems to me that there was another, or maybe several other, VOIP providers mentioned in a previous post that offers reseller packages but does not require the $2500 initial deposit that VOX requires but offered similar services. Would someone please help jog my mind? Thanks! Josh Rowe -- NexGenAccess Inc. http://www.nexgenaccess.com WISPA Wants You!

Re: [WISPA] VOIP Provider
Joshua, I use www.leasedminds.com and did not have to deal with the deposits or anything else for that matter. His name is Graham Wooden. His phone number is on his web site. Again, I am very happy with his company. He goes above and beyond for his customers. He also has reseller agreements in place.
