Hi, If I setup an IP PAX gateway to handle VoIP calls to a traditional phone line, I am wondering how each VoIP call to the PSTN connection get charged by a local Telecom. Thanks Sam

But assuming you are having: (remote phone) -> internet -> PSTN gateway -> end phone The connection charge is going to be PSTN gateway -> end phone. However note that in certain VoIP-backwards countries this scheme is illegal, and the telco might ask you to pay the international call termination charge if they find out you're doing this.

I thought I can send calls out thru a normal home telphone line. If this is the case, I will just need to pay each VoIP call to phone line at 20 - 30 cents / call.
