asterisk users - Oct 2005 - Aussie Call home!

Hi,

We have some people going to the US, namely LA & Las Vegas.

And I would like to organize a local normal phone number for them to dial. 

No problem on the tech stuff, but don't know the local providers in the US
of A!!

The idea is the number would be with a VOIP SIP service which I would like
to link to our Asterisk box over here in Australia.

So then they can dial the number and get to our switch board.

Also, is there a mobile provider we could use that would allow us to call
that VOIP number as a reasonable rate.

We are doing this with places in Australia, but was asking the group who
would be the best US VOIP provider to use for these localities.

Thanks

James

I used packet 8 when I lived in Australia, works fine $19.95 a month,
will also allow you unlimited outgoing calls from your asterisk users in
Australia to the USA.

(BTW I use Faktortel in Australia to make locals calls from my asterisk
pabx in NY).

Cheers,
Dean

Mobile providers here pretty much suck  I personnaly use tmobile as they are 
on a GSM network  so when i go home for hoildays i can take my phone.  they 
do offer prepaid services  so your guys could bring there phones and get sim 
cards here .  they would need to be Tri or Quad band phones  as they decided 
to use different a spectrum here.
